About the Texas Rangers
The Texas Rangers franchise relocated from Washington, D.C., to Arlington, Texas, for the 1972 season and has been a cornerstone of the region’s sports landscape for more than five decades. Since 1996, the club has reached the postseason nine times, winning seven American League West Division titles and advancing to the World Series in 2010, 2011, and 2023. In 2023, the Rangers defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks four-games-to-one in that year’s Fall Classic to capture the first World Series championship in franchise history. Globe Life Field, which opened in 2020, serves as the team’s home ballpark and a state-of-the-art multipurpose venue designed to host major local, regional, and national events. The $1.25 billion facility features a 5.5-acre retractable roof that ensures a comfortable experience for guests throughout the year. The Rangers have played a central role in the continued development of the Arlington Entertainment District, partnering with the City of Arlington, The Cordish Companies, and Loews Hotels & Co. to help establish the area as a premier destination for sports, dining, hospitality, and live entertainment. Rangers Baseball Express LLC became the sixth ownership group in club history when it purchased the team on August 12, 2010.
