The Texas Rangers and their affiliates offer a variety of promotional giveaways and freebies for fans attending games at Globe Life Field and Dr Pepper Ballpark. These promotions range from collectible items such as bobbleheads and statue replicas to practical items like schedule magnets and dog bandanas. Additionally, partnerships with local businesses provide fans with opportunities to receive free food and merchandise. The availability of these items is typically limited to the first arriving fans, and specific redemption rules apply depending on the type of offer.
Official Team Giveaways at Globe Life Field
The Texas Rangers release an annual schedule of promotional items available to fans attending home games. These giveaways are distributed at the beginning of the game to fans entering through any gate at Globe Life Field.
2025 Promotional Schedule
According to the official press release, the Rangers' 2025 season features nearly 100 promotional giveaways, theme nights, and community nights. Key items highlighted for the 2025 season include: * Magnetic Schedule: Presented by Budweiser, available to the first 30,000 fans on Opening Day (March 27). * Bobbleheads: Eight different bobbleheads are featured in the 2025 schedule, including the Wyatt Langford Cycle Bobblehead and the Bruce Bochy/Toyota World Series Parade Bobblehead. * Collectibles: The schedule also includes unique items such as a Pickleball Paddle and an Adrián Beltré Statue Replica. * Theme Night Items: Exclusive pop culture, sports, and premium items are available through Theme Night 10-game plans.
Giveaway Collection Policies
Fans do not need to visit a specific gate to collect promotional items. Items are distributed upon entry at any gate of Globe Life Field. Because supplies are limited to the first fans who arrive, it is recommended that attendees arrive early, specifically around an hour before the first pitch, to ensure they receive the free promotional items.
