More on the Frisco RoughRiders:
The Frisco RoughRiders are the Double-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers and the 2022 Texas
League champions. In 2023, the team celebrated its 20th anniversary and has consistently
finished in the top five among all Double-A franchises in attendance yearly. In August 2014,
the RoughRiders were purchased by an ownership group led by Chuck Greenberg. Since
then, the new ownership group, together with the City of Frisco, has spearheaded numerous
major franchise enhancements, investing over $8 million in a wide array of facility upgrades
and improvements, including a state-of-the-art HD video board, sound system, Bull Moose Saloon, Bullpen Bar, Riders Outpost Team Store, and the world’s largest water feature in a sports facility, the massive Lazy River. These enhancements earned the Riders and the City of Frisco Ballpark Digest’s prestigious “Best Ballpark Renovation” award for two consecutive years (2015 and 2016). More than 200 former RoughRiders players have gone on to play Major League Baseball including current Rangers Josh Jung, Evan Carter, and Leody Taveras.
