Texas Rangers
It’s the Rangers 50th anniversary season and you don’t want to miss being part of it! Going to the Rangers game is the perfect summer activity because no matter how hot it is outside, Globe Life Field is climate controlled and will always stay around 72° F. How cool is that? Did you know that Globe Life Field has over 100 concession stands? Some of our favorites are the hotdogs and ice cream served out of a fun baseball cap.
