NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Ameriquest Field in Arlington

Rangers Ballpark in Arlington is a baseball stadium in Arlington, Texas, located between Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas. It was known until May 7, 2004, as The Ballpark in Arlington when Ameriquest bought the naming rights to the stadium and named it Ameriquest Field in Arlington. Even with the new name, many fans still referred to it simply as "The Ballpark". In March, 2007, the Texas Rangers severed their relationship with Ameriquest and announced that the stadium would be named Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. It was constructed as a replacement for nearby Arlington Stadium.

The Rangers chose to build a retro-style ballpark along the lines of Oriole Park at Camden Yards and Jacobs Field. However, as the ballpark was built on one of the old Arlington Stadium parking lots, the irregular dimensions of the outfield were planned independently, rather than being forced by neighboring structures.

On May 7, 2004, Rangers owner Tom Hicks announced that he had negotiated a sale of the naming rights of the stadium to home mortgage company Ameriquest. The contract was worth $75 million over 30 years. As part of this contract, Ameriquest placed a large bell (in the shape of Ameriquest's corporate logo) in the ballpark, which rings for home runs and starts of games. This bell replaced what used to be Section 201, thereby reducing seating capacity slightly. In March of 2007, in an undisclosed agreement between the two entities, Ameriquest relinquished those rights, and the stadium was renamed to the "Ranger's Ballpark in Arlington".

On July 28, 2006, the Rangers played their 1,000th game in the facility. Despite being hailed as a wonderful venue, articles in the Dallas Morning News began to suggest that the ballpark would have been better served by having a dome or retractable roof - much like Minute Maid Park, the home of the Houston Astros - due to the Texas heat.

The home plate, foul poles, and bleachers were originally at the old Arlington Stadium.

The field is one of the notoriously hitter-friendly parks in baseball due to the high temperatures and low humidity, relatively short fences, and the design of the stadium which has allowed the wind to swirl and lift balls that wouldn't normally make it out to do so. With a combination of these factors and the naturally good hitters who've played for the Rangers, the team has put up some rather high home run totals. In 1996, the Rangers hit 221 homers. They eclipsed 200 again in 1998 (201), 1999 (230), 2001 (241), 2002 (230), 2003 (239), 2004 (227), and 2005 (260, four short of the all-time record of 264 by the 1997 Seattle Mariners). Unfortunately, Rangers' pitching (a traditional franchise weakness) has also suffered from the design of the park. 1996 (MCMXCVI) was a leap year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated the International Year for the Eradication of Poverty. ... 1998 (MCMXCVIII) was a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated the International Year of the Ocean [1]. // Coated in ice, power and telephone lines sag and often break, resulting in power outages. ... 1999 (MCMXCIX) was a common year starting on Friday, and was designated the International Year of Older Persons by the United Nations. ... 2001 (MMI) was a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
