MCKINNEY, Texas, Aug. 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Globe Life And Accident Insurance Company (Globe Life) has extended its partnership with the Texas Rangers through 2048 by signing a new naming rights agreement for the future retractable-roof ballpark to be built adjacent to the existing Globe Life Park in Arlington, and located next to the AT&T Stadium (Home of the Dallas Cowboys), and the future Texas Live! entertainment district. The new home of the Texas Rangers will be named Globe Life Field and is scheduled to be completed by April 2020.

"We are thrilled to continue as the Official Life and Health Insurance Company of the Texas Rangers," said Bill Leavell, President and CEO, Globe Life Direct Response.

It's extremely exciting to be a part of the game plan for Globe Life Field and to continue supporting the outstanding work carried out for children through the Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation. On behalf of our 1,500 McKinney-based employees and nearly 400,000 Texas policyholders, we look forward to the opening of Globe Life Field's state-of-the-art facility."
