It was the night that I went to the Rangers Ballpark in Arlington for the very first time after living in Dallas/Fort Worth area for about 9 years.
Saturday, September 11th, 2010. 7:00 PM. Texas Rangers vs. New York Yankees.
The distance to walk from the parking lots to the entrance of the ballpark building was pretty far and because of the end-of-summer heat, it felt worse. But as soon as we had gone through bag check, ticket check, the escalators, then to our seating section, all that was worth it.
The whole ballpark was packed and the overall seating capacity of 49,170 was almost completely filled up.
The opening ceremony and few introductions were given before the actual game began.
The excitement of people, the staple ballpark food and drinks, the baseball team gears everywhere, and the Rangers' leading score all gave me positive impression of being at the Rangers' game for the first time.
However, because of unfortunate weather, the game was delayed an hour at the beginning of sixth inning. As soon as the sixth inning was over, my friend and I had to leave (considering that there were still 3 innings left and it was already 11pm) but the rest of the group we went with informed us of the Rangers' win at the bottom of ninth inning! That was a quite exciting news.
I would definitely go back but next time, maybe it would be when it is cooler, and at lower level seats so my nose doesn't bleed trying to get to my seat..
