A first-of-its-kind technology that allows visitors at Globe Life Field to use the palm of their hand to pay for food and drinks is ready to go for the upcoming 2023 Texas Rangers’ baseball season.
These two new food service outlets, named “Express Grill”, located near sections 108 and 124, are equipped with Amazon’s Just Walk Out Technology and Amazon One. According to a press release, this style of tech was designed by Amazon to enable an effortless and convenient shopping experience that has eliminated checkout lines. This technology allows guests to either pay with a credit card or swipe their palm to gain access to the Just Walk Out Amazon one store without having to stop and pay. Each item selected is then automatically added to a virtual cart that charges those items to your card without ever stopping to pay or wait in line.

Offerings at these new Just Walk Out and Amazon one locations include, cheeseburgers, hot dogs, bratwurst, sausage, and corn dogs, along with an assortment of packaged beer, spiked seltzers, soda, bottled water, chips, candies, and sundries.
“We are excited to be collaborating with Amazon and Delaware North to add this new shopping experience to Globe Life Field,” says Rob Matwick, Texas Rangers executive vice president. “The Express Grill locations will offer added convenience and quicker transactions — allowing fans to spend more time watching a Rangers game or event and less time standing in line.”
But wait, there’s more.
The Texas Rangers and Delaware North also unveiled a few additions to the hospitality program in the form of a few new specialty items, expansion of mobile ordering to all stadium seats, and some new merch. That’s right baseball fans, you now have access to mobile ordering with delivery via the MLB Ballpark app at any seat in Globe Life Field. This means fans can make their selection of hot food items, snacks, and beverages through the mobile app and have those items delivered to their seats without missing a moment of the on-field action.

“We are continuously evaluating our operations and customer insights to understand how we can add even more variety — including with local partners — and bring new levels of convenience for fans at Globe Life Field,” says Casey Rapp, Delaware North general manager at the ballpark. “Between the culinary offerings, bolstered retail selection, and new fan-facing technology, there’s a lot to be excited about for the upcoming Ranger’s season.”
The Arlington Eats section of the stadium will feature a rotation of Arlington-based restaurants that include Ella B’s Restaurant, Prince Lebanese Grill, and Sugar Bee Sweets Bakery. This rotation will also include newcomers The Tin Cup and Cartel Tacos, with Hurtado Barbecue as the new official barbecue of Globe Life Field.
New food items revealed for this season will include, the Boomstick Burger, which consists of a 2-foot-long Nolan Ryan beef patty, topped with Texas Chili, nacho cheese and jalapenos, and crisp onion rings. Other new food items will include a brisket croissant, corn ribs, a Flamin Hot Cheetos Pretzel, a pizza dog, and for you vegans, the PLT (portabella mushroom lettuce and tomato) Sandwich.
