Arlington mayor says new ballpark measure passes

The referendum to approve a new ballpark in Arlington for the Texas Rangers has been voted on today, and Arlington Mayor Jeff Williams is “declaring victory,” according to T.R. Sullivan on Twitter.

Assuming that’s the case, the Rangers should be playing in a new ballpark possibly as early as 2020. The park is going to be built where part of the parking lot is now.
