joejoedairy Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) Texas can get very hot. Its up to the team if they want to keep it open. (this only applies for retractable roof stadiums obviously) Although I think MLB decides during the playoffs.

They're the reigning World Series champs and are currently one of the best teams in baseball as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxfan49 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I was in Dallas in 2017 in late September, and the heat index was 107 at 8 pm. I can't imagine what the days are like in Houston in the summer. Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 ESPN has exclusive rights to the primetime window on Sundays, but they will often let the Rangers schedule games Sunday nights as well, just because it is too hot to play during the day.

They say the field there is as close to cement as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of the office building along the LF wall, there is no opening in the OF for air to flow through. The park is oppressively stagnant when it is hot there, which is pretty much from May to October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
