It did not top the overall attendance record for an event at Globe Life.

That title belongs to a Morgan Wallen concert in Oct. 22 when 43,598 country music fans made their way to the stadium.

In 2012, Rangers home games averaged 42,719 fans per game at their previous home across the parking lot which then went by the name Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.

Game 2 could potentially have more fans squeeze in than Game 1.

On Friday, StubHub sales for Game 2 tickets jumped by 40% in the last 48 hours.
