Structural engineer Walter P Moore General contractor Manhattan Construction Company Tenants Texas Rangers ( MLB ) ( 2020 -- ) planned Globe Life Field is a baseball park under construction in Arlington, Texas. It will serve as the home of the Texas Rangers of Major League Baseball. Globe Life and Accident Insurance Company, a subsidiary of McKinney, Texas - based Torchmark Corporation, owns the naming rights for the facility through 2048. The new ballpark is going to be constructed across the street just south of Globe Life Park. On May 20, 2016, the Rangers announced that they would vacate Globe Life Park in Arlington. The new stadium will be constructed in a public / private partnership and have a retractable roof. The ballpark was approved on the following Election Day. HKS, Inc. was announced as the architect on January 5, 2017. The Rangers cited hot weather as the reason attendances at Globe Life Park are lower than in other baseball stadiums in major metropolitan areas. The current ballpark is prone to high temperatures and rain delays. Therefore, the Rangers are proposing their new ballpark be constructed with a roof. Unlike its predecessors, the new stadium 's center - field will face northeast, instead of southeast. In 2008, the NFL 's Dallas Cowboys managed to move to a retractable roof stadium due to the frequent hot weather in the Metroplex. The venue opened in time for the 2009 season. The preliminary 3D renderings and artwork of the new stadium show the design to be very similar to the looks and layout of Minute Maid Park, the Houston Astros ' stadium. Final designs have not been unveiled as of August 2017. A new shopping mall, as well as a Loews Hotel, and a ballpark village are planned to go along with the new stadium. The plans to build the stadium have generated a mixed reaction. The new stadium will mean a more comfortable environment to watch baseball but will extend existing taxes used to pay for AT&T Stadium. According to the Dallas Morning News, `` The deal calls for the city to issue $500 million in bonds to help pay for the stadium. A half - cent of sales tax, 2 percent hotel occupancy tax and 5 percent car rental tax would pay off those bonds over an estimated 30 years. Voters also approved a ticket tax of up to 10 percent and parking tax of up to $3 at the new stadium. That money would be used for some of the Rangers ' portion of the debt, which was criticized by the opposition campaign.
