LOOKING AHEAD:
AS OF NOVEMBER 2018, THERE ARE ONLY 16 MONTHS
LEFT UNTIL THE GATES AT GLOBE LIFE FIELD OPEN
N
early 1,000 construction workers will continue to
work around the clock to fulfill the March 2020
opening date.
The seating bowl construction will continue in the
coming months, working its way to connect with
the office building in the southeast corner.
Construction on the roof track began in early
September, with the construction of roof trusses
marking the first major step of the roof installation
process. Erection of the roof steel will begin later
this fall in the southeast area of the site, the same
section where the first steel was erected.
The ballpark site will continue to rapidly transform
toward completion. This time next year, a majority
of the facility will be completed, with exterior
construction nearing the finish line.
Physical seats are also expected to be installed next
fall, with the final months focused on finishing the
interior spaces, as well as the field and service level.
In the final months of construction, crews will be
finishing out the clubs and working on the field.
Around December 2019, furniture will begin going
in, said Jack Hill, Rangers' senior vice president of project
development .
“There will be a million painters and electricians
putting the fixtures in place to get ready to open,”
Hill said.
