Texas Rangers fans can rejoice, for the day has come. It’s finally Opening Day.
But, as the Rangers prepare to battle the Houston Astros, fans may have to fight for parking spots. The new Texas Live complex and Globe Life Field are being constructed on hundreds of existing parking spots.
The Rangers and the city of Arlington have issued parking warnings for Opening Day and other games throughout the season.
Parking: With the construction of the new Globe Life Field underway, fans should be aware of the following information for the upcoming season:
- Reserved Parking Spaces (Lots E, J, & L)
- Parking for Reserved Lots will be the same as prior seasons. However, access to Lot J along Randol Mill Road has moved further east and will be through the J2 entrance.
- Season Parking Passes (Lots B, C, D, and portions of Lots J & M)
- Fans with Season Ticket Holder parking can park in any Season Ticket Holder or Cash parking lot, while spaces are available in those lots. Once Season Ticket Holder lots are full, guests can still park in Rangers Cash lots by providing their coupon to the attendant. [[478259853,C,450,600]] For a detailed map go here
- Cash Parking Lots (Lots F, G, N, R, S, and portions of M)
- These lots will accept cash, credit cards, prepaid parking passes or Season Ticket Holder coupons for access. Please note that Lots C and D will be available only for season parking in 2018.
AT&T Stadium Lot 4
- On Opening Day, AT&T Stadium Lot 4 will open at the same time as all Rangers lots for game day parking. Attendants will accept Season Ticket Holder parking coupons, or cash, credit cards and prepaid parking passes. Other AT&T Stadium Lots could be used on Opening Day, based upon demand.
Shuttle buses: The Rangers will offer Shuttle Bus service from remote parking lots to Globe Life Field on both the north and south sides of the ballpark. Northside Lots will be picked up at marked stops along AT&T Way, Road to Six Flags and in Parking Lot F.
Southside Lots will be picked up in Lot R, near the R2 entrance, plus make stops at AT&T Stadium lots which are open.
Additional parking: Six Flags Over Texas, the Arlington Convention Center and entrepreneurial lots in the Entertainment District are also expected to offer parking on Opening Day. However, since these parking lots are not controlled by the Texas Rangers, fans should contact those entities to understand hours of operation, prices and any other rules or regulations. Texas Rangers parking coupons are not accepted on these lots.
