Ballpark in Arlington

Is putting an a.k.a okay? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by EddieSegoura (talk • contribs) .

Yep, that seems reasonable since that's the name it's been known as up to this point. (ESkog)^(Talk) 12:35, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Metrodome not retractable

Reading this article leads you to believe the Metrodome was on example of retractable roof technology they could have explored for the Ballpark in Arlington. However Metrodome is not retractable. This is very misleading.

George Bush

In subsection 2.1 Design paragraph 2, it states that George Bush was the Texas Governor when he helped "place home plate." If the first game was 01-Apr-1994 I'm not sure how he could be the Governor if he was elected in November of 1994. I think this should be edited. --ErikkErikkFriberg (talk) 14:10, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Skydome Roof Comparison

This is the first time I've ever read that the retractable roof at the Skydome in Toronto was responsible for the high cost of the facility and none of the narrative about this in the article is referenced. The Skydome was originally conceived to cost $60 million, which grew to $150 million by the time it was approved and about $225 by the time construction had started. There were numerous reasons for Skydome's high cost, including: (1) Lateness - due to a two-month strike - and the overtime and other premiums to have it ready closer to the planned opening (2) Infrastructure (not adequately anticipated from the plans) due to the adjacent railway lines: (i) the John Street Bridge, (ii) the walkway and bridge by the base of the CN Tower and (iii) the Skywalk connecting the area with Union Station. (3) Unanticipated costs of moving the John Street Pumping Station (4) Soil contamination (5) Archeological finds, and (6) Retrofitting the hotel and fitness facility into the design after construction had started, with these two changes responsible for $112MM of the cost overrun, or about 50% of the anticipated cost when construction started. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.63.165.46 (talk) 21:26, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

2011 accidental death of fan

Fatal fall tragic, but Rangers Ballpark railings meet code, Nolan Ryan says, Dallas Morning News, TOM BENNING and JON NIELSEN, July 9 2011:

"The Tarrant County medical examiner’s office ruled the cause of death as blunt-force trauma caused by a high fall."

Timeline for the accident

"7:33 p.m.: . . . He is taken by ambulance to John Peter Smith Hospital but goes into cardiac arrest on the way."

Now, our article currently says blunt force trauma. But this news article is talking about both blunt force trauma and heart attack enroute to the hospital. FriendlyRiverOtter (talk) 18:54, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Rangers Ballpark in Arlington → Globe Life Park in Arlington – The page should be moved to its new, official name per the naming rights agreement. Dooptastic (talk) 22:29, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Wikipedia articles use the WP:COMMONNAME, not the official name. Regardless of the often fleeting and rapidly changing naming rights which so frequently change the official names of many sports venues, the common name rarely changes. --Rushton2010 (talk) 02:50, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
