We were quite nervous that the weather was going to give us a lot of trouble today. It rained…and rained…and rained some more. There were flash flood warnings and power outages. We waited out the storm at our hotel and kept our fingers crossed that the game wouldn’t be cancelled.
After a two hour delay, the game was on! A little dreary and wet, but game on none the less. It was our first visit to Globe Life Park in Arlington and since they are building a new stadium this year it will be our last. It’s not an old-stadium but it does feel a bit run down.
We grabbed a few hats, visors, baseballs, etc. We like to have our souvenirs.
And then it was game time!
The Rangers played the Cardinals, which was fun because St Louis is my hometown. It felt like there were more Cardinals fans there than Rangers fans….but that feels true for the Cardinals wherever you go.
Annabelle found this beauty…The Grub Tub! Nachos and a soda all in one glorious container. Disgusting or genius?
Those outfield seats are standing room only and reminded me of a horse track.

With our ticket purchase we had access to the Capital One Club. These were great seats inside with awesome views and access to special concession stands. Unfortunately because of the rain delay they ran out of food so the access wasn’t quite as sweet as a typical game.
After the game we went back to the hotel for dinner. We grabbed a table at the Italian restaurant that we could see from our balcony. See those girls waiving down to us?
The girls ran back and forth between the room and our table between courses. It was great they had a little freedom and we could kick back and relax and enjoy a little wine and dinner.
The day may not have gone quite as planned, but it was a good one!
