The Rangers keep releasing updated renderings of Globe Life Field and fans -- at least the ones with the loudest Twitter voices -- keep responding: "It looks too much like Minute Maid Park."

Or as one very witty Twitter follower dubbed it: "Mimic Made Park"

I get some of the comps. Like Minute Maid, Globe Life will have a retractable roof that features a boxy rise in the middle. Also, there are some archways in the outfield. Oh, also, it surrounds a baseball field. And there are stands for fans, too.

In other words, they both look like retractable roof stadiums.

And if that is where your comparative eye on stadium ends, well, ok. Hopefully, though, you didn't have to live in the era of the multipurpose stadium when you couldn't tell Atlanta, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh or Philadelphia apart.

Before I continue with my comparison of the parks, you should know that I bring real credentials to this study of architecture. This weekend, I visited one of Frank Lloyd Wright's homes.

So let's go through a few of these renderings:

The archways and the roof and the field are all very visible here. So: Minute Maid North.

You will not hear me say the shape of the roof doesn't look Minute Maid-y. It does, but I think there are only so many things you can do with a retractable roof when it comes to functionality.

But the archways? That's where things start to change. Original renderings did show similar archways facing the field to those in Houston. The design has changed. The arches form the concourse, but what faces the field are giant red-brick beams that help support "Texas Porches," which will be boxes of seats that are above the field. Houston has the Crawford Boxes right at the field level, but no seating areas on the concourse or above it. It's a significant difference.

Also of note in this rendering are the lady and her daughter who are ardent Jurickson Profar fans and also, based on other sketches in this series, very frequent guests at Globe Life Field.

And the three kids wandering the concourse without parental supervision and clearly living in the past while wearing "Kinsler," "Hamilton," and "Young" jerseys.

Somebody check on Rangers Captain.

This exterior view has kind of a contemporary Texas feel.

Notice the area where the Globe Life Field marquee is located. That is another "Texas Porch" feature, intended to evoke the feeling of classic Texas architecture, but with a modern feel.

I don't know how you can look at this view of the stadium and an exterior view of Minute Maid Park and say: "Hey, these look the same." The entrance plaza, with its steps and flower boxes, looks like a pretty inviting meeting place.

They simply look nothing alike, unless the shape of the roof the is the only architectural element that matters.

Also, Profar Lady and her child are coming to the game today.

In what way does this remind you of any stadium?

More porches and wood.

This is a unique stadium design element.

Maybe it reminds you of an office campus in Frisco, but, let's keep this on Globe Life vs. Minute Maid for today. We'll turn to your other complaints another day.

I see Profar Lady is using her tickets again today. But she keeps heading for different entrances. Pick one already.

Oh, yeah, there's the roof again. Houston has a roof. Very roof-y.

About the roof: And fans won't be able to experience this until they are inside, the plan is for very translucent lighting panels on the roof and side panels to create much more natural light. The idea would be to give things a much more natural feel. So that even if the roof is closed, the fading light of sunset would be more of an effect than is the situation in Houston or other roofed stadiums.

Another unique exterior feature are the slatted outdoor shades behind the wall. It is all designed to make the ballpark exterior multi-faceted in materials and layering. It's not just one big box.

Profar Lady still can't decide where she is going, though, and I'm worried about her.

First of all, this is from a view none of us will ever get because, as we all know, these field level seats are going for something like $1 million per game. I'd think you'd warrant a little bigger TV screen than the one at the seat if you are paying that much for tickets. But, hey, what do I know?

Whether you win the lottery and can afford to sit here or are in the upper deck behind home plate, I have a hard time seeing the similarity between vistas between this and Minute Maid Park. Yes, there is a roof, some beams and some glass, but I think those are all essential elements in building a retractable-roofed and air-conditioned stadium.

What I don't see are gimmicky short left-field seats, a dumb hill in center field or a giant toy train. I see clean, sleek visibility lines.

Let's face facts: The Rangers' current home, sitting at the crest of a rise like a fortress and built in a classic Texas red brick style, has great curb appeal. It's always seemed like a beacon, beckoning to people to come inside. Once inside, though, the view is of an office building, the heat is often stifling and, on those days when a big crowd still shows up, the concourses are a bit narrow. What Globe Life Field may lack in exterior drama, it could more than make up for with interior amenities and comfortability.

Though it bears some very basic resemblances to another stadium, there are plenty of elements that will give it its own character.

And if not, well, Mimic Made Park is always a good nickname.
