Globe Life Field
I wanted to start taking my son to different baseball stadiums throughout the US as he really enjoys watching and playing baseball. Since we were going to be in Texas visiting Magnolia Market, I knew this stadium was less than two hours away, so we decided to add this to our list of places to visit on our first campervan adventure.
Experience a family outing at a Texas Rangers baseball game at Globe Life Field, located in Arlington, Texas, is a brand-new state-of-the-art home to the Texas Rangers baseball team. The new stadium opened in 2020 and boasts a retractable roof to ensure comfort and enjoyment during the games regardless of the weather.
There are many amenities within the stadium including spacious seating, premium dining options, dining options that allow for close up game views, and more immersive opportunities. This stadium will quickly become your top destination for any baseball enthusiast.
Texas Rangers baseball parking
I booked our parking lot online before we went as recommended. You can book parking online up to 4 hours before the game.
Upon arrival, we drove around for a while unable to find our parking spot, feeling very frustrated, I was finally able to stop long enough to look at the map on my phone to find our parking location. I wish there were better signs to guide us to each parking lot. I recommend having a map ready so you can find your spot easily, see the parking map below. Our parking fee for Lot L was $20 in 2021.
There is a short walk from the parking lot to the stadium. The brand-new stadium was beautiful and spacious, and we loved watching baseball at their new stadium!

Dollar hot dog day
We were lucky to go on dollar hotdog day as it can be so expensive to eat at a ballgame! We spent over $60 with hotdogs and drinks, and we shared a couple fries. We enjoyed our time at the ball game although the Rangers lost by one point in extra innings.

Camping at Midway in Waco
After the game, we headed to Waco to camp for the night. We stayed in a small campground called Midway both nights we were in Waco. This campground is 1 hour 40 minutes from the Texas Rangers field. This was close to Magnolia Market which is where we planned to visit the next day.
Although this campground met our basic needs, the bathrooms were not the nicest. It stated there were showers, but the women’s restroom did not have working showers although the men’s restroom did have one working shower. We pulled in at night both times so did not explore the campground so I cannot say too much about the care of the campground. We were right next to Waco Lake which was nice to wake up to. We were able to hang our hammock along the trees for the short time we were there and enjoyed the lake view. Check for closures due to flooding before booking.
Camping: This campground has 32 sites which have water and electric hookups, and 11 spots have sewer hookup as well. Paved camping sites.
Amenities: picnic table, grill, fire pit, playground, and shower house with flush toilets.
Cost: campsite was $16 tent only, $28 RV electric, $32 RV electric with sewer, and $42 RV electric double a night. (2021 prices)
Hours: 6am to 10pm
Pets: Yes
Prefer to stay near the stadium? Use booking.com or VRBO to book your next stay. I have used both of those apps and have had good luck finding accommodations.
