Major League Baseball wants to increase fan safety at games next year, meaning an potential increase in netting is coming to Globe Life Park.

John Blake tells NBC DFW:
"The Texas Rangers are strongly committed to the safety of fans attending our games. While the protective netting that is currently in place at Globe Life Park in Arlington meets the recommendations that were announced today by Major League Baseball, the Rangers are continuing to explore further options in this very important area of our fan experience."
