Instagram- AdamTheWooATW 25 stadiums down now while seeing The Rays play. On the home stretch and hoping to have this goal accomplished by the end of this season
Awesome buddy I'm a rangers fan because i'm from down there Dallas Fort Worth area. Also if you're ever back down there again Dallas cowboys stadium at&t stadium does stadium tours If I ever make it back down there again, I'm gonna do that tour. I'm a die hard cowboy fan Also I do remember going into the old Rangers stadium when I was a kid but I can't remember what year probably like 94 or 95.
One note Adam. This stadium is where the Rays played the Dodgers in the 2020 World Series. So technically this park has hosted the world series twice already, and the Rangers were only involved once. Also, I had the pleasure of seeing Nolan Ryan pitch once, in the last game he ever pitched against the Angels. It was one of the last games the Angels sold out in the NFL era (66,000+ seats), as everyone wanted to say goodbye to a true living legend. He pitched one hell of game. Hisn next start was against the Mariners and he gave up 5 runs, tearing his arm up and ending his 26 year career.
Love the video! Glad you had a great time in Arlington.....we Texans are pretty nice! Thanks for coming, oh and glad you got your nachos! (I get those too!))
LOL That would be Cicadas. I have lived my whole life in the DFW area and that is just the soundtrack of summer. You get to where you don't even notice them. I'm glad to hear everyone was nice and friendly at the ballpark. Welcome to Texas, Mr Woo.
I remember going to that wet and wild and seeing rangers stadium from the water slides when I was 9 in 8 in 1984. It was my first year of little league and I lived and breathed baseball.
The old homeplate will be placed back once construction is completed adam, that empty site is the storage for the National Medal of Honor Museum being constructed.
Very cool to see AT&T stadium up close...the arched roof supports that you walked by (around the 3 minute mark) were manufactured by the company I work for in Michigan...
Good morning, Adam. Yesterday, I visited Marceline, Missouri. I never would have known these great tributes to Walt Disney existed had it not been for your vlog last summer. I just wanted to say thanks for all you do, and thanks for all the wonderful places you show your viewers.
Isn’t it remarkable how much of a positive impact the friendly staff had on your experience of this stadium? Such a difference for such a simple thing; other venues should learn from this. Glad you got your ball park nachos 🎉😊
glad to hear you've experienced some of our Texas Friendliness! :) Really enjoyed getting to see the stadium- thanks! I live in Austin, but have never made it up there for a game!
Glad you’re enjoying your time in Texas! Sorry about your Rays, but as a Rangers fan…not too sorry 😅. Yes, Texas sized hospitality is a real thing!!! Safe travels
Adam, Being a youngster you probably don't have this historical perspective... The Texas Rangers began life in 1961 as the Washington Senators, an expansion team. After 10 years in Washington, they left DC after the 1971 season and became the Texas Rangers beginning in 1972. Ironically, the team they replaced, also the Washington Senators, moved to Minnesota to become the Twins. So DC has lost two baseball teams called the Washington Senators, that became the Minnesota Twins and Texas Rangers.
Glad you enjoyed your visit to the Ballpark (for the most part) & thanks for the great video. I work at the ballpark replenishing concession stands & we're there long before the game begins & usually gone by the time doors open for fans. Roof story: in summer the roof has to be closed as during the first season in the new ballpark ('21) the roof was opened when the temp was in mid - upper 90's & it caused major condensation throughout the whole stadium - wet floors everywhere. Thanks again & all the best!!
Hi Adam. My dad years ago when I was growing up back in the mid 1980’s in my teenage years was a vendor at ranger stadium that would walk the stands selling the beer,soda,popcorn,peanuts and anything else that would be sold in the stands. Me and my brothers would get into the games free sometimes as a perk of my dad working for the organization. We always went to all the promo games. This was during Nolan Ryan’s time with the team so I had the pleasure to see the GREATEST pitcher of all time on several occasions. I am now 51 years of age
I'm not a Rangers fan, but I did enjoy the tour of the stadium. Very nice, actually. Liked the laid-back vibes. Nachos looked delicious. Enjoy your visit to Texas, brother.
A few years ago we went to see a game in the Arlington stadium. We were able to get a ride over there from the hotel shuttle and they said that they’d come back to pick us up after. Well after the game, no shuttle. We along with a party of four gentlemen were waiting forever. We called, we tried everything so we gave up, joined together and called a taxi. Finally we got the cab, got in and the driver went forever to get us back to the hotel. We all split the rather large fare/tip and went to our rooms. The next day we found out that where we were picked up was actually just around the corner to the hotel. The driver brought us all around to add to the fare but we were actually only about 2 blocks away!
I lived in the DFW area very briefly as a kid. We went to a handful of Rangers games at what is now Choctaw Stadium. It was a fun atmosphere, but boy did those afternoon games get hot. I can see why they wanted a dome
Welcome to Texas. That’s a nice stadium the Rangers have. Gotta have a/c at full blast 😂 I got to see Nolan Ryan pitch for the Houston Astros many times
I'm from Europe where *nobody* watches baseball. But I *love* these baseball stadia tours ! PS : Indoor fireworks. I have seen everything. "Have you seen a man eat his own head ?" "No" "Then you have not seen everything"
The sound in the trees are locusts. They are green, 2 inches long with clear wings that hatch from a brown shell, and they fill the trees in Texas summers with that sound. Some call them cicadas, or kadidids
I'm 10 minutes from the stadium. I'm glad you enjoyed the home of our Texas Rangers! I love it. We are there all the time. Chuck Morgan is a legendary announcer in the Texas Rangers Hall of Fame. His voice is Texas Rangers baseball. BTW, those sounds in the trees mean its very Hot in Texas. 😂
I know this may come off a tad bit strange, but I have been a fan of your vlogs for years now and I'm not afraid of the comment section....The only two things consistent in my life are Daily Woo videos and overworking myself... Thanks for being so dang consistent. It means a lot to people like me who have no consistency of their own.
Glad to see you in Texas, Adam. Even if it is a short visit. My wife and I went to a Rangers game on a side trip during our honeymoon in August of 1994. It was at what is now named the Choctaw stadium, and it was a great park, but brutally hot. The domed stadium is a necessity for the heat (just like Florida).
It was an honor to finally get to meet you, Sir! If you ever come back, look me up. I can tell you more about Six Flags Over Texas than you can imagine.
Was hoping Adam might have gone on the AT&T Stadium tour...I did it a year or so ago and it was really cool. You don't have to be a Cowboys fan to enjoy it.
Greetings from Ohio. I know the feeling. I have been a Cincinnati Reds fan forever. They are in a similar boat as the Rays this year. Similar record. Once they get somthing going and looking good they fall apart for a few series before getting it going again. Cinci swept the Yankees last week then the very next series cinci gets swept by Detroit. It's tough to watch but it's all part of the game. Your baseball videos have inspired me to visit more stadiums to watch my Reds play. No way I can do all the stadiums, but I would like to visit the ones that are a days drive or less away. Safe Travels and enjoy yourself.
The taco place Oppo is a play on the home run call to the opposite field, so if a lefty batter hits one out to left field, announcers will say he hit an oppo taco. So the pronunciation is different than what Mr the Woo said here (it's the same as the start of the word "opposite"). It's actually a very clever name for a ballpark taco stand.
Love the ballpark vids Adam!… and your discipline and determination for your 50 by 50 is truly inspiring…. BTW Fenway has the bar on Landsdowne outside the ballpark that peeks into the Fenway outfield… looked like the Rangers club was a lot nicer….
Glad you got to check out the stadium Adam. I love the videos when you are here in the DFW. Im not sure if you are aware but on Davis St. Just a few minutes up Randoll Mill Rd. Just past At&t Stadium is Moore Memorial Gardens where Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul are both buried
during your "LIVING SIMPLY LIFE" in your van, you never mentioned baseball, until your Anaheim days in California, you mentioned going to reds games with your Uncle, and collecting cards, and then later being both EAST and WEST coast baseball, then choosing finally Tampa bay as your team to root for and i'm glad you are.
I took a break from baseball for a while . I go thru faxes with it and stopped paying attention to the game when I first stared the channels . The van dwelling days I has a mlb license plate on the front of my van . It’s in a million videos . I’ve always loved the game
I live in the north Texas area. So happy to hear you were treated well, and the sounds in the trees are definitely cicadas. It’s a normal sound to us in the area. 😊
Yes, the cicadas are loud in Texas. I recall the first Globe Life Stadium (now the Choctaw Stadium) was built in the parking lot of Arlington Stadium. I have been to both Arlington Stadium and the first Globe Life Stadium, but I have yet been inside the new one. However, I did release a video of Texas Live! awhile back. It is still a goal of mine meet you in person someday. I should have used my Columbo like skills and figure out where you were going to be.
Unbelievable you were out here. Haven’t been in the new stadium because couldn’t find parking last time I visited. I still haven’t been inside the new stadium. Looks cool from the outside.
Happy belated 12-year anniversary of the daily vlogs. I just went back through and reminisced on a bunch of the beginning videos. Time traveling vicariously through this channel Chaka konka konk
back in the 90's, I went to Montreal and saw the Expo's play the Dodgers. The only time I have been in a dome baseball stadium. You took the subway directly into Pi 9 stadium exiting into the food court area. I will never forget it. Now neither exist. SPOOKY!
I saved this to watch later. This is my home ballpark (Go Rangers)! We go to so many games but the old Ballpark in Arlington was way better. Can’t wait to watch this video when I have time. Hope you enjoyed your stay in Texas. I would say “stay cool” but seeing you have Tampa gear on, I assume you’re from FL so the heat is normal for you 😂😂
The Ballpark in Arlington, as it was called when it was built in 1994, is one of the most beautiful stadiums ever in baseball to me. It’s sad that they have jettisoned it so soon for the glitz of a fancy indoor stadium that’s uglier. I’ve seen many games at the old Arlington Stadium and at the Ballpark. Never saw Ryan pitch, unfortunately, but I did attend games when he was on the team.
Globe Life Stadium will always be the answer to a trivia question. What ballpark hosted the entire 2020 World Series (MLB's COVID season)? The Rays played in that series.
15:55 the old Arlington stadium. My dad used to take me to Ranger games when I was a little Savage. I didnt care about the games though. I was there for the food and to stare at Six Flags from the top row seats. We always sat in the nosebleeds
Hello Adam. Haven't heard you speak of the half marathon which is approaching soon! Do you still plan on participating and if you are walking maybe wrap those sore knees for some compression.
Yes I’m still doing it . I plan on walking it at a fast pace and jogging a little bit just to get ahead of the time . My goal is to finish it without being timed out
The Cardinals are currently in 2nd in the NL but we're coming up on 'choke season'. Oh wow! I want a rocking chair! P.S. 'Helmet Nachos' always seem to taste better. 😉
