When the current Temple was built, we had Rangers partial-season tickets and I remember my 9 year old self being floored they weren't building a dome.
I really love the Ballpark in Arlington but it's death to attend games past May and hurts players' performances I'm certain due to fatigue. With family in Arlington their taxes will,increase but they'll vote for it like always.

http://sportsday.dallasnews.com/texas-rangers/rangers/2016/05/19/sources-rangers-city-arlington-will-announce-plans-new-retractable-roof-stadiumAccording to two major league sources, the Rangers and City of Arlington are about to announce plans for a new retractable-roof stadium that is expected to come on line earlier than the current lease expires following the 2023 season. An announcement could come as soon as Friday.
It is uncertain how far ahead of the 2024 season the new stadium could be opened -- or how it would be financed -- but getting into a new retractable-roof stadium ahead of time is likely to significantly increase the value of the club and add multiple years of new revenue streams.
Construction of a new stadium likely would be subject to an election by Arlington voters --probably to dedicate sales tax and potentially parking and ticket taxes to the construction effort.
The Star-Telegram reported that a new $900 million ballpark be split equally between the city and the Rangers. WFAA-TV (Channel 8) reported that an election would be held in November to dedicate Arlington's half-cent sales tax currently paying off the Cowboys AT&T Stadium to the new Rangers ballpark.
