as most are that come from fan involvement.

but I doubt its in the top half anymore. We have been through a great era of ballpark building, and there are very few clunkers like Tropicana left.

Plus, they ditched the Shiner Bock except for the Beers of the World concession stand. Hey, we have Nolan Ryan’s Dong on a Stick now.

to do with the atmosphere. It’s not like the place is always packed and rockin’.

I hope to make my first trip to RBiA next year and I’m very excited.

not that great of a park…

Especially with all of these new ones.

When can we make the city of Arlington pay for another one? After they are finished paying for the Cowboys one?

I’m a northeastern boy. I’ve been to Yankee Stadium, Fenway, and (ugh) Shea.

Obviously, all very old parks.

Fenway is a fantastic place to watch a game, very personal. Yankee Stadium is very overrated. Shea is absolutely terrible.

RBiA is a great place to watch a game, don’t take it for granted, believe me!
I loved every second I spent in the DFW during the summer of ‘06. If I was single and not becoming a father in July, I’d move there.

-have some kind of “local” stuff in the park – joe t’s or something of that nature
-bring back shiner (all over the park if possible?)
-more chuck morgan! (does he still post here? or was he censored like CJ)

any more ideas?

RBiA is a friggin’ cathedral…

I’ve been to a lot of AL parks and a few NL parks and RBiA is a great place. They could improve a few things, (concessions, jumbotron, etc) but it really is a great place to watch a game as long as it isn’t a day game in late July.

I sometimes miss those bleachers in the old Arlington Stadium… no, really…

is crappy but it isn’t too bad besides that.

The ballpark is great, but it’s definitely behind the times. Like others have said, what’s most lacking is the food department.

When I went to Philly, you could get damn tasty cheesesteak sandwiches from famous restaurants. The lines were horrendous for the best foods though.

If the Rangers offered a Joe T Garcia’s counter, you can bet people would be lining up for 30minutes for fajitas no doubt.

It’s too bad though, I wonder if the Rangers contract with Aramark or Sportservice or whoever… I wonder how long that contract lasts and if ownership would even consider allowing outside vendors into the ballpark.

Didn’t the Front Row Grill (don’t know the name now) used to be Friday’s?

I don’t expect to get much argument from these

1) Tropicana- Worst Ballpark in Baseball, fitting for Tampa Bay
2) TwinkieDome-Hefty Garbage Bag outfield walls. ‘nuff said.
3) Shea-Everything bad about the mid60s mid 70s multiuse facilities.
4) McAfee Coliseum The place is a dump, befitting Oakland.
5) Dolphin Stadium-All the warmth and ambience of a football stadium
6) The New Comiskey-Last truly bad ballpark built.
7) LAAAAAofAAAAA-Whatever they are calling this piece of junk these days. Instead of upgrading, they should have dynamited.

There are ballparks that are arguably worse than TBiA, but I don’t think there is much of an argument for those 7. Those are all fairly bad ballparks.
