Win or lose, the Texas Rangers are ALWAYS our boys, and the 2016 season has so far proven to be an extra-exciting one! But the thrills and home runs aren’t the only reason that an afternoon or evening spent cheering on the Rangers at Globe Life Park is so much fun. Here are ten other things you’re missing out on if you haven’t yet made it to a game:
One: Food that will totally blow your Instagram.
Think that Texas Ranger food couldn’t get crazier or tastier? Think again. The Rangers chefs have taken it up a notch with a smorgasbord of new dining delights: Vegan nachos, chicken-and-doughnut skewers, smoked brisket loaded fries, and the ginormous “Wicked Pig”, a Hawaiian roll layered with pulled pork, thick-cut Danish bacon, split sausage, prosciutto and thick-sliced ham, all covered in barbecue sauce and topped with coleslaw and pork rinds. Yep, we said pork rinds. Find out more about the 2016 Rangers culinary lineup.
Two: Concessions, concessions, and more concessions.
And speaking of things culinary, did you know that there are more than 100 spots at Globe Life Park where you can grab food and drink of all flavors, sizes, and price points? It’s true, and the Rangers also offer a special all-you-can-eat premium seating area that’s perfect for groups or special occasions. Find out more via this interactive map.
Three: A new game for right field.
Rangers fans have something extra-cool to cheer about this season, and it’s nothing less than a brand- spankin’ new giant video board that’s recently been installed in left field.
For years, fans in right field were cut out of the video board action, since the “old” right field board is positioned above their heads and out of their line of vision. This new left field board changes all that, plus it also features enhanced brightness to counteract the effects of the sunlight that tends to pour into left field from the west, something that’s especially welcome during these dog days of summer.
Four: Fireworks and giveaways
Fireworks Nights, Dollar Hot Dog Days, Blue Bell Ice Cream Sundays, bobblehead giveaways and soooo much more. There’s always something a little extra special going on at the Rangers home games, including discounted ticket opportunities like Coca-Cola Family Packs and $10 Tuesdays.

Five: One-of-a-kind fan experiences.
Your tiny Rangers fan will never forget the time that he or she got to deliver a Game Day ball, take a ride around the bases in-between innings, or start off a Rangers game by yelling “Play ball!” in front of thousands of cheering fans.

Six: One word: shopping!
The Rangers Nation need more than a baseball cap to show their solidarity, and the Majestic Grand Slam Gift Shop delivers! Enjoy the largest selection of Texas Rangers licensed souvenirs, apparel, and gifts. How about branded flip flops, blankets, jewelry or garden flags? No problem. Best of all, you can order a custom-made Rangers jersey with a last name and number of your choice! It's never too early for Christmas shopping, right?
Seven: Valet parking? Of course!
