Baseball Returns to Central Texas

The Round Rock Express have officially kicked off their 2026 season, bringing professional baseball back to the Dell Diamond. The team is preparing for a packed schedule of games and community-focused events designed to engage fans throughout the region.

Exciting Promotions and Special Events

S Almendarez highlighted several key attractions for the upcoming season. Fans can look forward to a special mid-July event where the team will play as the "Train Bandits," a concept inspired by the notorious Round Rock train robber Sam Bass.

The opening weekend promises significant giveaways for attendees:

  • Friday Night: Retro Express hats courtesy of Maxwell.
  • Promotional Gear: Intel will be distributing quarter-zip pullovers to fans.

Stadium Upgrades and New Partnerships

The 2026 season introduces a brand-new Skybox experience at Dell Diamond. Developed in partnership with Austin Telco, this space combines multiple suites into a larger, upscale area for hosting groups and VIPs.

Furthermore, the organization is expanding its sports footprint by bringing Pro Fastpitch softball to the area. The inclusion of the Texas Volts is a significant development, providing young girls in Central Texas with new athletic role models.

A Focus on Community Impact

Almendarez emphasized the importance of the team’s role in the lives of local youth. By providing a venue where children can watch their heroes play, the organization continues to foster a strong connection with the community. The addition of professional softball is expected to further enhance this impact, offering a broader range of inspiration for the next generation of athletes.
