This season at Texas Rangers Stadium the concessions are offering big, "Texas-sized" options at new vendors such as Texas Sized 24. Here, you can order the "Beltre Buster", a one-pound burger topped with half a pound of bacon, grilled onions, and cheese on a pretzel bun. Other favorite vendors located in Ranger Stadium are Fry Depot, Food Network Signature Sandwiches, and Home Plate Butcher Block. You can find your All-American stadium fare at Ballpark Favorites, located in Sections 3, 9, 15, and 33 of the stadium.
Field Dimensions
The field dimensions of Rangers Ballpark are as follows (all measurements from home plate): 332ft to Left-Field, 390ft to Left-Center, 404ft Deep Left-Center, 400ft to Center, 407ft Deep Right-Center, 377ft to Right-Center, and 325ft to Right-Field. It is 60ft from home plate to the backstop. Rangers Ballpark is notoriously a hitter friendly park, with the heat of Texas, strong winds, and relatively short fences.
Family Fun
If you are bringing out the whole family to a Texas Rangers game, you may want to consider sitting in the alcohol free section 335. Also the Kids Zone, located on the first floor of the office building left-center field behind Vandergriff Plaza features video games, kids concessions, jungle gym, craft making, and much more. Plus for parents the area is fully air conditioned.
Seats to Avoid
Although seats in the first row are typically most desired, the first row seats in most of the 200s and 300s sections have bars that obstruct your view, yet they are not listed as obstructed or partial view seats. Section 112 to 139 are at the back of the lower deck and are covered by the upper deck. Although it's good if it's raining, these seats give a claustrophobic feeling, you'll miss fly balls and the scoreboard is generally hard to see. Lastly, section 335 does not allow alcohol, just saying.
Seats in Shade
The summers in Texas can be very hot, so it is important to know where to sit to avoid the sun at Texas Rangers games. It would be wise to look for seats on along the first base side in this case, as the majority of the third baseline seats remain in the sun for the entirety of games. Also, if you don't mind sitting way up high, the 300 level sections offer shade in seats above row 17. If you are afraid of heights these seats are not for you though, as the upper deck is quite steep.
