Major League Baseball’s Texas Rangers are teaming-up with the Arlington Independent School District to play a minimum of 14 regular season high school football games in the fall at Globe Life Park.

Starting August 27, six of Arlington’s will host at least one game at Globe Life Park. The first game on August 27 will pit Lamar against Euless Trinity. Martin and Arlington will host five games each, with Bowie, Lamar, Sam Houston, and Seguin hosting one game each. The final regular season game will be November 5.

“The Rangers want to thank the Arlington Independent School District for helping make Globe Life Park in Arlington a destination for high school football,” said Sean Decker, Rangers executive vice president, sports & entertainment. “We are certainly hoping to have the honor of hosting these high school games this fall.

“This is an outstanding opportunity for our district at Globe Life Park,” said AISD Superintendent Dr. Marcelo Cavazos. “This will provide a unique and lasting experience not only for our football players, but also for our students, cheer teams, bands, families and everyone coming to the park. We have always had an outstanding relationship with the Texas Rangers, and this just adds another layer to that.”
