Round Rock is located just north of Austin, and the Express is the other Texas team owned by Nolan Ryan. Dell Diamond is definitely one of the top ballparks we’ve been too, very similar to Whatabuger Field in Corpus Christi. Tonight’s giveaway was a Nolan Ryan statue, keeping in line with the Nolan giveaway trend at both ballparks. The design is very similar to Whataburger field, without the little league field. One of the differentiating features is the grandstand in left field, one of the only (if not, the only) ballparks I’ve seen with a full two-level grandstand in the outfield. Other features include a swimming pool and hot tub behind right field, basketball courts, and two “Berm Ball” (a.k.a wall ball) courts behind center field.

We couldn’t fundraise tonight due to the fact that ABC was holding casting calls for the next season of the Bachelor. Many single young ladies turned out in hopes of being casted for a show whose novelty wore off about five seasons ago. Again, if you ever are in Texas please do check out one of Nolan Ryan’s teams—both stadiums are top notch.
