More than six months passed between the scheduled opening of Globe Life Field in March and the arrival of fans for Game 1 of the National League Championship Series.
While the COVID-19 pandemic has affected every Major League Baseball franchise, the Rangers’ story is unique: They were the only team inaugurating a new stadium in 2020.
As he waited to welcome guests, Rangers co-owner and COO Neil Leibman devoted time to a cause that transcends sports — the concept and eventual construction of the new National Medal of Honor Museum, a short distance away from Globe Life Field. Leibman serves on the museum’s board of directors; the group is chaired by Charlotte Jones, executive vice president and chief brand officer of the Dallas Cowboys.
