I will have to hold off judgment until I see it in person, but for right now it doesn't look as good as some other retractable stadiums that were built years earlier.

Before a game is played and you've seen it in person, yes...I'd say so.

AP mentioned something about having it closed until right before game time, that has some potential to at least try

Going to The American tomorrow at Jerry World, can't wait to have a look at the new ballpark in person! Haven't been up that way since the Arky game. Are they doing tours of the new ballpark or anything? If not, I'll just check it out from a perch at Texas Live with a col' beer.

I'm willing you bet you had formed an opinion before you saw it in person.

As mentioned the other day, I was going to be inside soon.

I've now been inside. I still find it unremarkable.

It's 2020 cookie cutter. A marked improvement over the cookie cutter era, but it's just a stadium out of a box set.

And after thinking about it, I think it looks like a convention center from the outside.

And that is surprising considering HKS HQ is down the highway.

Appreciate the offer, but I need to see a couple of games there to gauge the experience.

Many of us have seen it in person.

But even if we hadn't, the idea that you can look at pictures of something and not have an idea of whether you love it or not is ridiculous. There'd be a whole lot more women getting lucky on Tinder if you had to "see them in person" before saying if you loved it or not.

Once it's completed, sure. But this faux outrage before its complete is ridiculous.

Is that supposed to be analogous?

A closer analogy would be starting a squad from square one and writing them off after it's halfway assembled.

How likely is it that the Coronavirus cancels opening day for us up in Seattle?

0% chance.

The game will be played.

The question is... will the stadium be empty. I'm going to say 50 - 50.
I would like to see the games played, but I hope the rangers try to keep the players quarantined while they are not playing.

I don't want them getting sick or bringing the virus back. The chances of them catching it in the stadium alone are probably pretty low.

Just got tickets for Friday apr 3rd. Really excited. Have never used the ballpark app before. How long does it normally take for tickets to show up in the "wallet"

Have your tickets shown up yet?

They are probably going to delay the tickets showing up in your wallet for as long as possible -- they don't want people re-selling before they get that box office $$$

I was looking at the single game tickets today to check out pricing.

Why are there no lower level infield seats available for the entire season?

Some are season ticket holders, some are authorized brokers that probably haven't got the go-ahead to list by the Rangers, and I'd guess a significant chunk are Rangers just holding back tickets to dynamically price once they pull season/mini-plan listings.

You can find them on stubhub or whatever that site is that pops up when you go through espn.com then click on rangers schedule then buy tickets.

There a no tickets to purchase on the rangers site. StubHub has extra fees. It's just surprising that you can't buy any lower level tickets from the rangers.

Nearly that entire lower seating bowl is sold out on ticket plans

I think the mezzanine is an excellent alternative that provides great sight lines and vantage points. I think it is severely undervalued right now and people will start to realize that once the season starts. I highly recommend sections 105-110

Nope. Looked earlier and they are not there. Figure of they are not there in the next week or so, I will follow up with the ticket folks

I just checked online and it is active right now. TEXAGS20

Sorry for the confusion on the code. My ticket ops team originally said it was just texags, but looks like it does have the 20 at the end

I don't know how to post twitter links, but good discussion by @mlbcathedrals. From pictures pointing out it is not like The juice box or safeco. He does point out flaws that I have noticed and others I have not. The obstructed view seating does irk me though.
