FINAL MLB GAME EVER at Globe Life Park in Arlington, TX

Goodbye to one of the best stadiums in Major League Baseball. This was the very last game ever played at Globe Life Park, home of the Texas Rangers from 1994-2019. Next year they'll be moving across the street to their new stadium, Globe Life Field.
This was also the final regular-season game for future Hall of Famer CC Sabathia. There was a nice video tribute for him on the jumbotron plus lots of festivities to celebrate the stadium itself. I wish there had been more home runs hit on this final day, but it was still an amazing experience.
Do like the shirt I was wearing? Check out that one and others here:

There is absolutely nothing wrong with what I still think of as "The Ballpark" in Arlington. It's just a huge waste of money to build another stadium next door.

[@gianzack9022]

David Burrow true

[@ezramulkey7328]

Players have said before texas is to hot to play 82 games in so having it indoor will attract more free agents and people wanting to play for them

[@forrestcommander6283]

The true reason lies in ownership. One of the owners wanted a new stadium, and Dallas put in a bid, which forced Arlington’s hand. I will let you know that it was NOT Bob Simpson who was responsible

[@matthewperez555]

I kind of wish they just built some kind of roof lol. The old Rangers stadium was my favorite!

[@dylanterry5911]

7:28 that shows how underrated Texas fans are. Really nice people over here In Texas

[@ayojorden8274]

For everyone who’s wondering why they’re getting a new stadium It’s because They’ve gotten many complaints from fans that it’s too hot and they have to sit in the heat to watch a baseball game. So they came up with a plan to build an air conditioned stadium with a retractable roof and they gave the fans an option on if they wanted a new stadium or if they want the same one and majority of fans picked new stadium. Plus it’s hot as sh*t in Texas, it’s near the hundreds every day in Texas during summer.

[@Emper0rH0rde]

That's a good reason to build a new stadium. Still, Globe Life Park was a beautiful ballpark, and I hate to see it go.

[@bluecrayon007]

This wasn’t the main reason. The main reason was the Rangers said they would stay in the Stadium for a certain amount of years and those year were almost up. The city of Arlington did not want to lose the Rangers to a city like Dallas or maybe a different state so they offered them a new stadium. The voting was for the fans and that basically confirmed the new stadium but the main reason was to keep the Rangers in Arlington for attests another 25+ years.

[@dubrob210]

Yeah I remember going to a few Ranger games and sweating like a dog.

[@kickthesky]

I was at the final game at County Stadium for the Brewers. Very cool ceremony there, too. They brought out a lot of the surviving Milwaukee Braves, Brewers, and a handful of Green Bay Packers that had played games there. Uecker gave an amazing tribute speech at the end. It's always cool to experience baseball history like that.

[@zackhample]

Very cool. Wish I coulda been there.

[@wesleyantrim6648]

I was there for opening day 1994. I was 15 years old. After watching games in old Arlington Stadium (a AAA park), I thought the Ballpark in Arlington was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen. Now, at the age of 40, I still think it’s beautiful, but I’d be lying if I said that the heat hasn’t kept me from going to games. As much as I’ll miss the beauty of the ballpark, I will definitely be looking forward to the AC.

[@forrestcommander6283]

Imagine those of us security on the field there. It got HOT!

[@forrestcommander6283]

For the record, I worked there in 2013 as on field security

[@HuntingMaster23]

"One of the very best baseball stadiums in America." Built in 1994 with a classic brick design, I went to this stadium 4 times back in 2007. We kept saying, "what a beautiful NEW baseball park." Now, a few short years later, it's being replaced? And by an Ugly airplane hanger thing??

[@baylor06]

(Astros fan here) I attended this game however because I wanted to see the last game as I have many memories here. I recently went to Globe Life Field for a Rangers Red Sox game and the feeling just isn’t the same. I miss this park mannnn

[@SomeoneElsesStory]

Thanks for documenting the final day of the ballpark I've been going to for the past 20 years. So many memories. It's time to make some new ones at the new stadium!

[@zackhample]

You're very welcome! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@kimchi2780]

Globelife Park was a beautiful place but man those summer games were hard to sit through. I went to a few games 2 seasons ago and it was over 100 degrees outside and around 140 degrees field level where we were sitting. Also of course Dallas summers bring insane thunderstorms. Having an enclosed field is going to be great for the fans though I will miss the old stadium it was beautiful.

[@aidanfinkofficial]

This was a great video as always, Zack! Glad you got to be there for the final game and the final series and soak it all in. Never got to make it to Globe Life Park, but it seems like it was a great MLB ballpark to go to and catch balls (and be at in general). The videos you did at this ballpark will just bring back the great memories you had there, so it's great that you have video documentation of your experiences to watch for years to come.

Goose egg. That is a big fat goose eg. The last home run hit at Globe Life Park was by Arron Judge will be a collectors ball.

[@micycles1200]

5:14 that's awesome. They're playing Nancy Bea Heffley's version of "It's a Beautiful Day for a Ballgame." I grew up listening to Nancy on the Dodger Stadium organ, and hers will always be the true sound of a ballpark to me. I know that the one they're playing here is particularly hers because she released an album of sorts and I listen to that song all the time. I have a tremendous amount of love and respect for Nancy Bea - she's the reason why I learned to play the piano (though I was never any good so I switched to drums). I enjoy Deiter Rhoule's energy that he brings to Dodger games with his own style, but the classic music that Nancy played will always be the best. I thank Globe Life Park for honoring her tradition.

Also, Zack it was awesome to see you in person being so polite with the fans who kept hammering you every single day. I didn’t wanna bother you anymore so I just took a selfie when you weren’t looking 😂. I grew up going to GLP and I was able to get several balls through out my time there during batting practice and it was always my dream to catch an in game homer on the grass. Alas, it wasn’t meant to be. I came down from Wisconsin to say good bye for the final series. I would also like to share with you a story from the park that was published in Boys Life Magazine (Boy Scouts) from when my brother was hit in the face by a Russell Branyan homer at GLP when he was playing for the Indians. The crazy thing is that my brother and Branyan are both from Warner Robbins GA. Russell actually gave us the signed bat at the next nights game. The story can be found on page 10 in the link posted below. books.google.com/books?id=lvsDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA10&lpg=PA10&dq=boys+life+alan+shierling&source=bl&ots=ygNeD0eYo3&sig=ACfU3U2U8ei3Xhi0SiMa07yHQhF67LR_Hg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi1ov_anpjlAhXSjp4KHQpPBmEQ6AEwCnoECAoQAQ#v=onepage&q=boys%20life%20alan%20shierling&f=false
