We love our sports in Austin. We have a number of farm teams, including the Round Rock Express in the suburban city of Round Rock. The team is the AAA affiliate of the Texas Rangers (which they became affiliated with in 2010 after severing their affiliation with the Huston Astros) and owned by hall of fammer Nolan Ryan. Recently my beautiful wife and I attended a game. The night we went they happened to be having a tribute night for the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings. This commemoration was under the banner "Run Austin Love Boston."
Handicapped Accessibility:
The stadium is handicapped accessible, however, we could not reach our actual seats, but they have have accessible spots at the top of each section.
Not every night is a tribute night, but the games are still fun.
Ticket prices range from $7 to $16. Other ticket options include various packages where food may be included in the admission price.
Location: 3400 East Palm Valley Blvd Round Rock, TX

What do think? Have you been to baseball game here?
Editors Update: The Round Rock Express contacted me to send me a copy of the official video taken by their staff the night of this tribute. Below is that video.
