Fewer trees at Cowboy Field
It's a little sad to look out at the outfield fence at Cowboy Field.
Pine trees still populate the background, but just not as many as there used to be. If you look at the picture, trees like the one by the foul pole were lined up directly behind the scoreboard and ran to the other foul pole in right field. The trees that you see behind the scoreboard are much further north.

It was part of the beauty of the once proud field.
A pine beetle disease has forced several trees to be cut down, leaving a majority from left-center field to right-center field. A couple of smaller trees appear to have planted, but it just doesn't look the same.
Hopefully in the years to come, all of the trees will return. Maybe the current Rangers will enjoy seeing their rebirth when watching their kids play in 30 years. One can only hope.
