Ameriquest Field
Ameriquest Field at Arlington took only 23 months to complete,
and is the baseball-only home of the Texas Rangers. This unique
complex also includes a baseball museum, a children's learning
center, a four-story office building within the ballpark, a youth
baseball park, and a 12-acre lake. The total cost of the project
was approximately 191 million dollars, and the complex contains
approximately 1,400,000 square feet. The outfield fences are
14 feet in left field and 8 feet in center and right fields.
The playing surface consists of Bermuda Tifway 419, and the field
can drain almost 10 inches of water per hour if need be. The
irrigation system allows the outfield to be watered from one
spot and can produce 50,000 gallons of water per hour.
One of the favorite features of the ballpark
is a manual scoreboard in left field measuring 10 feet by 90
feet that resembles the “Green
Monster” of Boston’s Fenway Park. There are 9 separate
parking lots at Ameriquest Field at Arlington, each color coded
and named after a historic figure of Texas’ history. There
are also over 1,200 speakers in the park, located
evenly so that no fan is ever more than 75 feet from a speaker.
