Who’s ready for some baseball? We’re excited for Round Rock Express games to start on Friday, April 17, but in the meantime, we can get a taste of all the fun to come at the Round Rock Express Fan Fest Open House on Saturday, Mar. 28. The Round Rock Express will open the gates of Dell Diamond to fans from 10 a.m – 2 p.m. for their annual Fan Fest. The event is free and open to the public.
