Globe Life Field to Host World Series

The Rangers played their first regular season game in the new stadium, in Arlington, Texas, in July.

The new stadium has a retractable roof and a climate control system.

Jennifer Haworth, Globe Life’s chief marketing officer, said in a comment included in the baseball scheduling announcement that the company is so proud to see the playoffs and World Series coming to Globe Life Field.

“This will be a great opportunity for our community and for Globe Life Field to showcase its state-of-the-art facilities as the World Series site,” Haworth said.

For Globe Life and other life insurers, the playoffs and World Series games may be a new chance to draw consumers’ attention to the idea of buying life insurance.

Texas itself has faced a severe COVID-19 outbreak. The state has recorded a total of 143,488 deaths for the period from Feb. 1 through Sept. 12, or about 14% more than the expected number, according to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That implies that the state has experienced about 20,000 deaths due to COVID-19 or pandemic-related health care system disruption.
