It was hot when they moved in. It's still hot. The June-August DFW average temperature in 2019 was the same as it was in 1994.

There have been 12 summers since the Ballpark opened that were hotter than any summer in the preceding 12/13 years before the Ballpark opened.

No doubt it was hot before. Its undeniably been hotter since they made the business decisions back in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

The article isn't claiming "climate change" was explicitly on the minds of Rangers ownership, nor does it assign blame for climate change, but there was certainly a breaking point with the heat such that people could get behind closing the Ballpark down early.

If you went to many games out at Turnpike Stadium, you didn't go fearing 100 degrees all summer long---that just didn't happen as much.
