As a Tour Guide @ Globe Life Field, who wasn’t yet here in Texas back in the days the Rangers played in their 1st home, Arlington Stadium, this is such a jewel for me to learn more of the history and events that took place in that 1st ballpark. Thank you so much for posting and I look forward to sharing some of the moments talked about in this segment with new Rangers fans as they come into the Rangers’ current home.

Lots of great memories at Arlington stadium…. And that many more at the ballpark…. Somehow I can’t see me ever going to the new one though.

I got to see a game in their first year 1972. I remember it was against Detroit. I have the program somewhere.

The two radio stations would be one station at two frequencies, 570 and 820, shared with WBAP. Their first FM effort was known as KERA (unrelated to the present PBS/NPR stations located, ironically, at the original WFAA-TV site), which didn't last long.

These were really dark days for the Rangers. They never made the postseason once in that stadium and were almost always near the last of the pack. Arlington Stadium was not very good at all as a stadium. No amenities, bad sight lines, miserably hot with no shade in the Texas heat.

Thanks for posting this. I went to my first MLB game at Arlington Stadium, I'm not sure when, probably 1989 or maybe 1990. I know the last game I attended at Arlington Stadium was on my 12th birthday, August 28, 1993. I almost got a foul ball from Juan Gonzalez at that game.

A few years later, Lon Wynne Park got a pool. Now that pool is history (I took my little ones there to swim 20 years ago, so that kind of broke my heart). They're about to open a splash pad in place of the pool. The times they are a-changing.

My dad owned a restaurant called Khaki's Fresh Food off Little Road in Arlington. One of my earliest memories was one night after work, he took me to this ballpark and parked in the parking lot and proceeded to tell me stories about it and The Rangers. Told me the next day it would be demolished. Miss you pops and thanks for the memories.
@CyTolliver9 ай бұрын
I used to go to khakis every week with my dad. Spent many a night playing street fighter and eating potato nachos there. My dad let me choose the name of the order because they called it out over the PA so I always chose something goofy. I miss the hell out of that place! Sorry to hear about your pops, i had many great memories with my own father there and the ballpark.

In 1987 I was privately shown a copy of the ORIGINAL UNALTERED Zapruder film, which very clearly shows the DRIVER of JFK's limousine turn around with a gun in his left hand and kill JFK by shooting him in his head!! You can very clearly see the smoke come from his gun, and Mrs Kennedy's mouth drops open in horror upon seeing this happen, so she climbs out over the back of the car to get away from the TRUE assassin!! It is too bad that most people have never been able to see this version of the Zapruder film!!
