Choctaw Stadium, Sports stadium in Arlington, United States.
Choctaw Stadium is a sports venue with over 48,000 seats in Arlington, north of Dallas in Texas. The exterior combines granite and red brick, and the interior offers multiple tiers of seating that surround a playing surface reconfigured depending on the event hosted.
The venue opened in 1994 for baseball games and remained home to the Texas Rangers until 2019. A complete redesign followed to accommodate soccer and American football events, and the transformed layout debuted in 2020.
The stadium has carried the Choctaw name since August 25, 2021, when Choctaw Casinos & Resorts, owned by the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, bought the naming rights. The name appears on the outfield board reading "GLOBE LIFE PARK" beside a T logo, a sign left from the previous sponsor.
The stadium sits on Randol Mill Road, with the Centerfield office building behind center field housing shops and ticket windows on its ground floor. The outfield was rebuilt with new seats where the baseball field once lay, so sightlines differ from the original layout. The field is oriented horizontally when viewed from behind home plate.
The stadium kept its original structure and received only a new playing surface and different seating arrangements, without requiring a full demolition. The renovation took just a few months and allowed a quick reopening for other sports.
