At 7:05 p.m. on Thursday, Round Rock Express players will break out the bats, suit up and take to the field for the first time in the 2017 baseball season.

Dell Diamond will feature the first in a five-game series against the Nashville Sounds, with play continuing over the subsequent four days. Tickets are still available for each game.

The first 5,000 fans to make it to Dell Diamond on Thursday will be awarded with a Budweiser magnet giveaway. As part of the team's Thirsty Thursday promotion, draft beer will be offered at a discount and soda will be available for $1. Fireworks will follow the game.

The season will continue throughout the summer with the last of the regular season games taking place in a series against the Oklahoma City Dodgers from Sept. 1-4.

The Round Rock Express season will also feature a number of theme nights and sponsored events, all of which are outlined in this guide to enjoying the season.
