The Texas Rangers unveiled their new stadium on social media, and they did not receive the reaction they likely anticipated.
Not only has the Rangers’ stadium been criticized because its interior seems to replicate the interior at Minute Maid Park, but many also noted the gray tin look of the new Globe Life Field.

The roof has lots of utility and functional purposes. It’s made of ETFE panels that allow natural light to flow throughout the facility, but the aesthetics leave a lot to be desired.
