This fan-focused stadium opened in Round Rock, Texas in 2000 as the home of an MLB Triple-A affiliate. The venue’s unique design puts fans unusually close to the field as seats behind home plate are only 55 feet from the backstop, closer to the action than the pitcher's mound is to home plate. Fans seated along the first and third base lines are even closer (50 feet from the field). The stadium draws consistent traffic beyond baseball season, hosting concerts, amateur sporting events, craft shows, and private functions throughout the year. A conference center along the first base line adds 10,000 square feet of dedicated event space, making the stadium a year-round venue for Round Rock and Central Texas. Keeping the grounds game-ready and presentable across a full calendar of events takes a team effort.
