“We are instituting these revised food/beverage and bag policies for the convenience of our guests,” said Rob Matwick, Rangers executive vice president of business operations, in a statement. "These policies are the original ones we planned to have for Globe Life Field at the start of the 2020 baseball season prior to the pandemic."
