An inside look at Globe Life Fields 10 coolest features Review!

Oct17

Nolan Ryan Statue welcoming fans through the front doors.

It’s not everyday I get to review a new stadium like Globe Life Field, but tonight I attended game 5 of the NLCS series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Atlanta Braves.

The new, $1.2 billion retractable-roof stadium, which was scheduled to open March 31 before the coronavirus pandemic altered the season, welcomed its first fans in Globe Life Field.

Here’s 10 coolest features for fans at the new Globe Life Field in Arlington.

By Brad Holden

Number 1…. The Entry

After walking by the Nolan Ryan statue greeting you with his cap and the jumping fountains, you enter almost a wonderland of the highest tallest solid structures you could imagine!

Then almost everyone I saw entered then walked straight up to the center left field of the Globe Life Field area for a picture shot! It just doesn’t disappoint.

Number 2…..Clean.

Considering it was only the 5th day to let fans in kinda explains anywhere you looked, sat, smelt it was 100% just clean. I don’t know how else to describe it!

Number 3….. Food Choices

Custom Hot Dogs.

Your normal baseball food of hot dogs, crackerjacks, peanuts, footlong hog dogs, nachos were present at Globe Life Field. Adding to the mix was fancy pizzas, Pluckers and a Golden Chick, just to name a few. Variety galore!

Number 4….outfield tables.

They were not allowing fans due to Covid, but what a fantastic idea for smaller groups that can munch, talk and converse without sitting in a straight line and leaving the two end people out in actual seats! Brilliant.

Number 5……shadow box highlights.

Rangers Greats.

Very nice touch adding Rangers greats to some of the large columns when you walk in. Brilliant actually.

Number 6……. Alcohol Access

It’s literally everywhere when you are walking in a concourse. You will never be thirsty, that’s for sure.

Grab and go at Globe Life Field.

Number 7…..Artistic pieces

Artistic pieces through the field.

Very interesting pieces of art pop up in strage places throughout the stadium, and all you want to do is look at state!!!

Number 8…. Screens, screens and more screens

Outfield Screen at Glove Life Field.

Not to mention the 3 largest screens I’ve seen at a stadium, but take a look in the elevators, bathrooms and even some escalators allows you to get your fix.

Number 9….. Souvenir Shop

Texas Rangers Souvenir Shop

Everything’s bigger in Texas. No joke. Maybe 6,000 square feet?🤷🏻‍♂️

Lastly Number 10…..a cleaners concept of jerseys to buy

Video speaks for itself.

So whether you are planning to catch one of the final NLCS games or the upcoming World Series, your senses will be overloaded.

And even though the outside look of a Costco or Sams might disappoint, take a couple steps inside Globe Life Field and I bet you change your mind!

Globe Life Field.

Globe Life Field is one of a kind!!!

Andretti Indoor Karting and Games in The Colony.

I got my boys out of the house today and we checked out Andretti Indoor Karting and Racing that just opened in The Colony!

Entry
Colored lights everywhere!

I couldn’t believe how cold the AC was (considering the spike in temps) and how clean and new every game looked. Even the carpet!

Andretti Indoor Karting and Games is pretty much an unparalleled family entertainment and event destination in The Colony with several attractions all under one roof!


They have high-speed Biz Karts that reach speeds up to 35 mph, you’ll experience an adrenaline rush like never before on a three-level track of heart-pounding excitement. Even my 1st grader was tall enough to ride on his own!

There are two races, the adult race/track and the intermediate race/track. We rode in the intermediate and it was great!

VR Hyperdeck. Amazing! Must do!!! I promise.

This VR Hyperdeck game was VR with wind and even the ground moved. Best VR all three of us have ever seen!

Hk Andretti Indoor Karting & Games is also home to more than 120 arcade games, an indoor ropes course, professional racing simulators with VR technology, a two-level laser tag arena, custom boutique bowling and the fan-favorite Dark Ride motion theater.

The ropes course wasn’t open due to Covid, but all the other attractions were open.


And don’t forget to slow down and have a drink at the full bar with premium selections and Andretti wines (which is on the first and second floor) or enjoy the made-from-scratch menu featuring grilled diner classics, farm-fresh wings, Asian fusion and Mamma Andretti’s brick oven pizza.

Such a huge, clean, new kid place is such an incredible feeling and experience. Andretti Indoor Karting and Games gets a AAA+++!!!

Trophy Signature Homes announces they will be building at Park Vista in Frisco!

May30

Trophy Signature Homes has announced they they will be joining Normandy Homes and CB Jeni Homes as the third builder in Park Vista in Frisco.

Trophy Signature is fairly new to DFW from a name but the people behind the company have tremendous experience in not only building but development.

They currently build in 20 communities in DFW and some notable Frisco ones like Edgestone, Hollyhock and Frisco Springs. I feel they bring a unique blend of functionality, design, and value.

Why I feel Trophy is successful in what they do is that in every model home they build, EVERYTHING is standard! It really makes comparing builders much easier when you do not have to choose additional upgrades and increase the price!

Plans for all three builders is to start pre-sales late in the summer, most likely the end of June.

For more information when plans and pricing come out for any of the builders in Park Vista in Frisco, text or call Brad Holden today at (469) 733-2723 and I will give you updates to be one of the first buyers with the best deal!

Final Plat for Park Vista in Frisco was approved at Friscos last Planning and Zoning Commission!

May3

Park Vista in Frisco Final Plat Map Approved at the last last Frisco Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting!

I was pretty concerned with what is going on in the world and the progress of Park Vista in Frisco but boy was I wrong! It looks like there timing is still on track and now since the final plat has been completed it’s pretty close to Pre-sales!

Park Vista Final Plat Map

“Park Vista will consist of 203 patio home lots, 156 Townhome Lots and an additional 267 Patio Home/Townhome lots!”

Park Vista Final Plat Map

Green Brick Partners is the developer (and not to confuse you) but they own these Texas builders: Normandy Homes, CB Jeni Townhomes, Southgate Homes and Trophy Signature Homes. I am guessing that all of them will be selling in Park Vista with possibly Southgate sitting this one out because I don’t think they have a patio home product.

Green Brick Partner Builders

The other builders, GHO Homes, The Providence Group and Challenger Homes all do business in other states like Florida, Georgia and Colorado!

Normandy Homes Model Southlake

For the patio homes I’m pretty sure the builders will be Normandy and Trophy Signature. They both have plans already with a patio home product and actually do an incredible job with them as well.

CB Jeni Townhomes

And for the townhomes, there is no doubt CB Jeni will be in the mix. They have done a great job with this product beginning in the 2008’s.

Trophy Signature also has surprised me with their finish out and plans.

Trophy Signature does build a stunning house from inside and out on the patio home product at Park Vista in Frisco!

Update on Park Vista in FRISCO

Feb16

Park Vista in Frisco has been moving a ton of dirt and already have most streets in and electricity to the lots.

The Developer is Green Brick Partners and they recently got final zoning approvals for the Park Vista community at Eldorado Parkway and Coit Road. The Plano-based builder and developer traded apartment zoning on a part of the 74-acre site in order to build a neighborhood of townhouses and patio homes.

“Half of the site was zoned for multi-family, which we were willing to give up to build this project,” Jed Dolson, president of Green Brick’s Texas division, said.

The Park Vista community will include more than 300 homes and almost seven acres of open space in four small parks. Homes in the development are planned in a combination of Georgian, Craftsman and Colonial styles.

Builders have not been finalized but once they are I will let you know about Pre-Sales for the Park Vista Builders and get you plat maps and other Park Vista Info. This will only be for my clients.

Text or call me at (469)733-2723 for more information on Park Vista at the corner of Coit and Eldorado.
