The 2019 Texas Rangers Fan Fest will take place this Saturday from 9 a.m until 4 p.m. at Globe Life Park in Arlington.
This year's event will feature autograph sessions with dozens of current and former players including Hall of Famer Ivan 'Pudge' Rodriguez.
During the event, the team will also share a behind-the-scenes look at the team's new home, Globe Life Field.
"A Viewing Area will be set up on what will be the main left field concourse of the new park, providing a great sightline to see the construction progress, especially on the seating bowl and roof areas. The Viewing Area will be accessible from Texas Rangers Plaza adjacent to Texas Live! and will require a Fan Fest ticket for admittance. The Viewing Area will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., the same hours as Fan Fest," the team said.
Other highlights include a Q&A with team execs, players and announcers; whiffle ball and inflatables on the concourse; dugout and clubhouse tours; free play in the Kids Zone; free access to batting cages and food and drinks for sale around the stadium.
For autographs, the team warns the guidelines have changed for 2019:
- The first 6,000 fans in attendance are eligible to receive a winning autograph ticket for a specific autograph session.
- All autograph sessions will require a winning autograph ticket, which can be located in the center of the event program.
- Photos and personalized autographs are not permitted.
- Players will sign 225 autographs per session. Players will not sign beyond their allotted time.
- The main scoreboard and concourse televisions will post who is signing during each session 1 hour prior to the start of that session.
- Prior to the 2019 Fan Fest, All Autograph Passes were sold online at texasrangers.com and guests who purchased the All Autograph Passes will have the opportunity to skip to the front of each autograph session.
- A limited number of All Autograph Passes remain for sale.
