Question about Choctaw Stadium (former Globe Life Park)

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I'm going through my BluRays of the 2020 World Series right now...that series took place at Globe Life Field (home of the Rangers) but in several aerial shots, the OLD stadium (Globe Life Park, now called Choctaw Stadium), right next door, is all lit up as well. I can only assume this means there was a game going on there as well - otherwise, why bother lighting up the stadium?

Anyway, does anybody know what game it was? I'm pretty sure I saw football goalposts....so was it a football game of some kind? If so, what teams?

Wiki says that stadium is home to the XFL's Arlington (then-Dallas) Renegades and North Texas SC of the third-tier American soccer league.

Given the time of year a World Series takes place and since the XFL was/is a spring league you're probably talking about the soccer team. They probably just didn't bother (couldn't afford to bother?) moving the handegg goalposts.

Soccer wouldn't have been playing at that time. If it was Game 3 on a Friday it's probably high school football.

At first I thought there must be some kind of safety reason the stadium might be lit up even when there's nobody playing...but that would seem to be a massive waste of electricity. Plus I'm fairly sure I saw a lot of cars parked around it as well (although that could certainly also have been overflow World Series crowds).

Oh well. At least the stadium isn't going to waste even after the Rangers moved out. So there's that.

That said, I'm wondering if they might be doing some work on the seating to make it a bit more football-oriented (assuming nobody's playing baseball there anymore)...like they did in Atlanta with the old Turner Field once Georgia State got ahold of it.
