This is the “Bunker” behind what was home plate and what is still the first base dugout at the old Ballpark In Arlington. It’s now Choctaw Stadium, home to the Arlington Renegades of the United Football League.

This was built when the place opened in 1994 under then owner George W. Bush. It’s a glorified suite, a place where front office and team ownership would use, often to entertain VIP guests.
