Need to shop? You'll want to visit the 4-story cajun themed office building in center field. The first story is dedicated to retail shops and ticket windows.
Once you're settled in your seats, the feeling of the old parks really starts to set in. The double-deck right field bleachers, complete with steele pillars and arched accents, is reminiscent of the home run porch at old Tiger Stadium. The massive billboards along the top of the stadium add to the windscreen to keep out stiff breezes and seem accent the feeling of yesteryear.
There's not a bad seat in the house. Due to its horseshoe shaped design, all seats are angled towards home plate. Whether you're in the bleachers with plenty of sun, fresh air and beer or behind the plate looking out at one of the most spectacular backdrops in modern baseball, you're sure to enjoy your stay at Rangers Ballpark.
