Grass or fake stuff? Here’s what the Rangers are planning for new ballpark

The giant hole just south of Globe Life Park keeps getting deeper and deeper, and at some point in the not-too-distant future it will begin to be surrounded by steal and concrete and eventually covered by a retractable roof.

One of the final major steps in the construction of the $1.1-billion Globe Life Field is the one causing the most consternation, albeit some 28 months before the Texas Rangers’ new ballpark will open for business in 2020.

Grass or artificial turf?

People aren’t exactly on the edge of seats just yet, but talk is talk and the talk is that Ray Davis and the ownership group are dead set on the fake stuff so that they can turn a baseball stadium into a 365/24/7 entertainment venue.
