I don’t know if it’s the high of the organization being the World Series Champion, but something just feels different this RoughRiders season. There are a few changes, aka upgrades, over at Riders Field to get this season started. I talked to Zach Bigley about the changes in my Hustle and Pro episode 188. Let’s take a look at some of these changes.
Stadium Upgrades:
Lazy River
Our friends at Axis Custom Pools have been hard at work getting the World Famous Lazy River better than ever for the 2024 season. Fans will enjoy brand new tile and plaster while they float around and enjoy the most unique view in professional sports.
LED Stadium Lights
The RoughRiders are upgrading their stadium lights to brand new, state-of-the-art LED ballpark lights. This will allow fans to enjoy RoughRiders baseball at night in crisp lighting. The LEDs will also be synchronized during home runs and fireworks shows.
New Landscaping
Pro Lawn Care and the RoughRiders have completely redone the landscaping around the ballpark. This has returned the areas on the outer concourse back to the original “park within a park” that defines the Riders Field experience.
Renovations
Home Clubhouse: The home clubhouse has been renovated to be more spacious and have more meeting space for the players and coaches.
Food and Beverage:
Big Stick Blonde
The RoughRiders-themed beer is making its way back to the diamond. Brewed by Texas-based Revolver Brewing, this light beer is sure to quench your thirst. This year, it’s making its debut in a 16oz can as well as draft at multiple bar locations throughout the ballpark.
Chappell Hill Sausage Cart
New to the Riders Field concession lineup this year is the Chappell Hill Sausage Cart. A family-owned business just west of Houston, serving up varieties of smoked link sausages and brats. Featured menu items will include smoked brats, jalapeño cheddar sausage and a hatch green chili and cheese sausage. The concession cart will be located by the Home Plate Gate.
Smokey Denmarks
A new hot dog is coming to Riders Field! A 100% beef hardwood smoked hot dog courtesy of Smokey Denmark’s Smoked Meats Co. will be available at concession stands all season long. Smokey Denmark is an Austin-based family-owned sausage company that’s been in business since 1964.
Concessions Items
This year, the concessions feature brand new healthier items, includingthe new Vegan Sweet & Sour Bowl at the Ono Pacific stand.
Fans can also enjoy the Roasted Vegetable Quesadilla at Rojo’s, the Grilled Vegetable Philly at the new Frisco Philly’s cart and even a new Gluten & Dairy Free Brownie offering at the Sweet Spot.
