97,000 Truck Loads of Dirt
CREWS BEGIN EXCAVATING GLOBE LIFE FIELD SITE
The excavation for the future
Globe Life Field began in October
on the eastern part of the project
site, which is located in what was
formerly the Lot B parking lot.
The excavation is being overseen by
Manhattan Construction Company,
the general contractor of the
project. Crews will work 24 hours
a day, six days a week (excluding
Sunday) on the excavation with
the exception of during major
events at AT&T Stadium.
Approximately 1.3 million cubic
yards of dirt will be excavated
from the site, according to the
Texas Rangers. It will take an
estimated 97,000 total truck
loads to haul the dirt away from
the site with the majority being
taken to the Arlington Landfill.
Substantial completion of the
excavation stage is expected
by February 2018.
The $1.1 billion ballpark will be
1.7 million square feet in size,
compared to 1.4 million square
feet for the current Globe Life Park,
and will be situated on a 13-acre
site south of the current facility.
Seating capacity is approximately
41,000 for Globe Life Field, which
will open in March 2020.
HKS is the design architect
for the project.
