BRIEF HISTORY:
On October 24, 1990, a decision has finally been made to build a new ballpark in Arlington. On April 24, 1992, they began construction and was completed 23 months later. On April 1, 1994, Texas Rangers and New York Mets opened the ballpark stadium with a contest. However, three days later, the first real game was played between Rangers and Milwaukee Brewers on April 4, 1994. And the rest is history…
