Knew those seats very well. By the time I was going, it was $4 for adults, $2 for kids. Those cups of fries and nachos were the best. They dropped off when the new stadium opened. Great memories.

I remember these seats very well. May, June, July and August these seats were frying pans. Hot as hell but man did I love it out there as a kid. Watch Nolan Ryan a few times there. I even got a homerun ball from Ruben Sierra.

Those 7:05 first pitch games were still 96 degrees, with the sun blaring on you in the outfield

I sat out in the bleachers a lot as a kid. In the late '80s and early '90s, I started sitting in the low upper deck 3rd base side. You can see it for a split second being panned at :29 in the video. If you look closely, the seats are angled back toward the pitchers mound. In my opinion, these are some of the best seats in the stadium. You get the best look at the entire field and see everything develop. From behind the plate, you don't see the outfield as well.

I miss that place. My great grandfather was an integral part of getting the Rangers here(C.W. "Punch" Wright). I still have his woolen FW Spurs jersey they gave him when he broke ground on the this stadium. My brother has the gold plated shovel. Turnpike Stadium was it's original name.

Miss the old turnpike stadium, now stadiums are disposable. Teams want a new one every 18 years or so.

Turnpike stadium was both a dump and a sauna. Minor league parks at the time were nicer. I do agree with you on your disposal comment though

@@paleo704 it was a minor league stadium to begin with. FW Spurs. Also, it was built in the 60s. I'm not sure what you'd expect from a 60s minor league park they added onto over the years.

Nice simple servicable ball park. I like efficecent and not overdoing things without a purpose.This was a nice place allowed everyone to see the game w.o. distraction. B in Arlington is superior and gem, but this new park sucks with the Barn and Astro Turf.

Does anybody remember dime beer afternoon games? By the 9th inning the bleachers smelled like a can of stale beer.
