ARLINGTON, Texas — Globe Life Field was open to 100 percent of its capacity Monday night, but the crowd was far from a sellout. A cautious herd of 12,911 fans filed into the ballpark for an exhibition game between the Texas Rangers and the Milwaukee Brewers — the first of two games at the stadium before the regular season begins on Thursday. The game marked the first time the ballpark — which opened last season — could be open to its capacity of 40,300 since the state lifted coronavirus capacity restrictions earlier this month. But on the first try, fans weren’t in a hurry to pack the stands. Those who did make the trip saw the Rangers lose, 4-0.
