A guide to the Texas and Southwest MLB stadiums — Minute Maid Park, Globe Life Field, Chase Field, and Coors Field. Where each team plays and how to plan your visit.
Texas has two parks: Minute Maid Park in downtown Houston and Globe Life Field in Arlington, between Dallas and Fort Worth. They're about a four-hour drive apart along I-45/I-35, so many fans pair them on one Texas trip. Both have retractable roofs to beat the summer heat.
Chase Field sits in downtown Phoenix with a retractable roof for the desert climate, and Coors Field anchors downtown Denver a mile above sea level — its high altitude is famous for producing offense. Arizona is also the spring-training home of the Cactus League.
Heat is the theme across much of this region, so the roofed parks keep games comfortable in midsummer. Check each stadium guide for transit and food, and always confirm game dates on the home team's schedule.
Two: Minute Maid Park in Houston and Globe Life Field in Arlington (between Dallas and Fort Worth). Both have retractable roofs.
Minute Maid Park (Houston), Globe Life Field (Arlington), and Chase Field (Phoenix) all have retractable roofs. Coors Field in Denver is open-air.
Coors Field sits a mile above sea level in Denver, and the thin air lets balls carry farther, which has long given the park a reputation for high-scoring games.
