Ballpark enthusiasts and fast-food junkies, take note: the Texas Rangers have partnered with McDonald's and Coca-Cola for a week-long extravaganza that promises to bring some fanfare to the DFW Metroplex ahead of the team's season opener. According to information provided by the City of Arlington, "NTX McDonald's Rangers Week," which runs from March 18-26, will feature Rangers alumni, mascots, and the Texas Rangers Six Shooters squad making appearances at various McDonald's locations for autograph sessions.
For fans looking to catch the action, you might be in luck wearing your Rangers gear. Alongside autographs, you'll score a free Coca-Cola and fries, although expecting to snag tickets to the actual game might be a stretch at these events. Fans will then be gearing up for the big showdown on Opening Day, March 27, when the Rangers take on the Boston Red Sox at 3:05 p.m. Game tickets continue to be on sale through the usual channels.
The event schedule kicks off on March 18 at 1 p.m. with former players Shawn Tolleson and Pete O'Brien and a visit from the Rangers Captain mascot and the Six Shooters Squad at the Arlington McDonald's at 2575 E. Arkansas Lane.
While the partnering between the famed DFW squad and the Golden Arches may raise some eyebrows, it's clear that old-fashioned Americana is alive and well when baseball teams and big soda come together. This series of events culminates on March 26, from 10-11 a.m. at the McDonald's on 5220 N. MacArthur Blvd, Irving, where players Darren Oliver and David Murphy, the shootin' Texas Rangers Six Shooters, will greet fans starting at 10 a.m.
