Fans weren’t allowed to attend the first game at the Texas Rangers’ $1.2 billion Globe Life Field, as was the case at the other 14 Opening Day games in big-league baseball.

BaseballParks.com got to cover the event in Arlington, though, so we can bring you a description of what the experience was like. You can also learn the thinking of those who provided the gameday experience to the empty facility.

The ballpark — especially on the inside — is gorgeous. We look forward to providing you with a review of what it’s like to attend a game there once patrons are permitted in and the fan amenities are open.

But in the meantime, enjoy our look at the first-ever game at Globe Life Field.
