Texas Live! is a $250 million dining, entertainment and hospitality district being developed by Major League Baseball’s Texas Rangers, The Cordish Companies and the City of Arlington. The District, which sits between Globe Life Park and AT&T Stadium, includes 170,000 square feet of dining and entertainment, a 300+ room upscale convention hotel, 35,000 square feet of meeting and convention space as well as an outdoor event venue that can hold up to 4,000 people. Texas Live! is part of a greater $4 billion vision for the Arlington Stadium District that includes the Rangers new $1.1 billion ballpark and the preservation of Globe Life Park.
DoublEdge worked with the design team and stakeholders to develop all the site and building exterior lighting for the hotel and entertainment complex consisting of the 4000 guest exterior performance venue Arlington Backyard, a 10,000 sq. ft. beer garden, Troy’s Restaurant courtyard, multiple dining and entrainment terraces, patios and plazas, a pedestrian paseo that bifurcates the hotel and entertainment complex feeding into the new Rangers ballpark, the hotel’s 8,000 sq ft. exterior lounge, 9,000 sq ft garden terrace, 18,000 sq ft. pool terrace and a 7000 sq ft. roof top terrace.
The lighting and controls were closely coordinated to work cohesively together while allowing each space and their tenants to retain a unique personality supporting various brands and designed experiences within the construct of the sport and entertainment themes.
