Roger Clemens brings the heat to a sold-out crowd at The Dell Diamond, and the exposure gives

sponsors even more value in having a partnership with the Round Rock Express.

SponsorsThe success of the Express has opened the door for many

national and regional companies to do business in the Round Rock community for the first time. Whether it is entertaining

clients in a luxury suite, renting the facility for a company picnic or filming a national television show, the lure of The Dell

Diamond is the common thread that leads these companies to Round Rock and it is the community’s positive atmosphere that

makes them stay. Express sponsors range from Fortune 500 companies to local businesses. The draw for most companies is

the Express’ positive image in the community and the large number of people attending ballgames with expendable income.
