The stadium was subsequently renamed Ameriquest Field in Arlington (2004–2006), Rangers Ballpark in Arlington (2007–2013), and Globe Life Park in Arlington (2014–2019). In the game, starting pitcher Ken Hill got the win in a 5–3 defeat of the Boston Red Sox. They moved into The Ballpark in Arlington in 1994, but did not host their first Opening Day at new facility until 1996. The Rangers' final Opening Day at Arlington Stadium occurred on April 8, 1991, when starter Nolan Ryan was handed the loss by the Milwaukee Brewers, 5–4. Their 1972 season opener was played on the road, but they played their first Opening Day game in Arlington on April 7, 1973, with Bosman taking the loss in a 3–1 loss to the White Sox. The team moved to Texas in 1972, and played their home games at Arlington Stadium.

Through their 11 years in Washington, the Senators started every Opening Day game at home. Opening Day starter Bennie Daniels earned the win in a 4–1 victory over the Detroit Tigers on April 9. In 1962, the team moved to District of Columbia Stadium (renamed Robert F. Dick Donovan was their starting pitcher that day he took the decision in a game the Senators lost, 4–3.

The Rangers have used 37 different Opening Day starting pitchers in their 60 seasons. The first game of the new baseball season for a team is played on Opening Day, and being named the Opening Day starting pitcher is an honor which is given to the player who is expected to lead the pitching staff that season, though there are various strategic reasons why a team's best pitcher might not start on Opening Day. The franchise relocated to Arlington as the Rangers in 1972.

He's had a good camp, and the Rangers really like him. Right-hander Josh Sborz shouldn't be forgotten either. Only so many non-roster guys can be added without risking too many losses off the 40-man roster. Yang being a non-roster invitee puts him at an unfair advantage. Chris Woodward has mentioned the possibility of him working out at the alternate site, and being ready to pounce as soon as an opportunity presents itself. The Rangers love his ability to throw innings. If there's an immediate next-man-up, it's likely Hyeon-jong Yang. The Rangers may reward him with a multi-inning role out of the bullpen. He and the pitching coaches have worked on some mechanical adjustments, and they've resulted in good numbers in Cactus League action (3.00 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and 13 strikeouts in nine innings).
Kolby Allard has quietly had a good spring. To reemphasize, lots of moving parts here. However, Chris Woodward also confirmed on Tuesday it isn't carved into stone either. As stated previously, the Rangers prefer to have the tandem roles be righty-lefty. Jordan Lyles could very well be in one of the tandem roles, while bringing either Hearn or Benjamin into the bullpen as a long reliever. The placement of Hernández, Leclerc, and Burke on the 60-day IL would allow the Rangers to add Kennedy, Bush, and Wood without making any painful roster moves. Hunter Wood, a former starter, can provide some flexibility as a multi-inning reliever.
Bush and Kennedy provide valuable experience in the back end of the bullpen, and have done plenty to earn their spots. Thankfully, three non-roster guys and Rule 5 draft pick Brett de Geus have had solid springs. That is not just a decimation, but an obliteration of what was looked at as a strength of the team at the beginning of camp. Of my six projected bullpen spots, five of them - FIVE! -would be occupied by the list above.
