J&A Engineering is providing security and telecom engineering design services for Globe Life Field, the new home of the Texas Rangers. The stadium will seat approximately 41,000 fans and be directly adjacent to the Texas Live! entertainment plaza, which is currently under construction. The park will have a retractable roof, which has been high on the list of desired features for players and fans who have to endure the sweltering Texas heat during the summer months. The roof itself will house a skylight, so even when it’s closed, natural light will be able to indirectly filter into the stadium — but it won’t affect players’ or fans’ vision.
The park will be 1.7 million square feet in size and take up 13 acres for a cost of $1.1 billion.
Groundbreaking for Globe Life Field will take place on Sept. 28, 2020. Read more…
