The Round Rock Express is a Minor League Baseball team based in Round Rock, Texas, that serves as the Triple-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers. The team plays in the Pacific Coast League (PCL), one of the highest levels of Minor League Baseball, just one step below Major League Baseball (MLB). The Express has earned a strong reputation for its competitive play, community involvement, and its role as an important stepping stone for players looking to make it to the major leagues.
The Round Rock Express was founded in 2000, bringing professional baseball back to Round Rock, a city in the central part of Texas that had previously been without a team since 1975. The team was established after the Round Rock Baseball Partnership purchased the rights to the franchise. The ownership group, led by Ryan Sanders Baseball, included notable figures such as Nolan Ryan, a Hall of Fame pitcher and former MLB great. The purchase of the franchise marked a significant moment in Round Rock’s sports history, as the city worked to develop a professional sports identity.
The team’s name, Express, was chosen to reflect the area’s historical significance as a hub for transportation and as an important stop on the railroad lines in Texas. The franchise quickly became a beloved fixture in the city and a key part of the local culture. The Round Rock Express plays their home games at Dell Diamond, a state-of-the-art ballpark located in Round Rock. Dell Diamond opened in 2000 and was designed to create a fan-friendly atmosphere, offering a modern facility for players and spectators alike. The stadium features a seating capacity of around 10,000 and boasts a wide array of amenities, including luxury suites, family-friendly areas, and excellent views of the action on the field.
