Dell Diamond Makes Fear the Walking Dead Debut Tonight
April 22, 2018 - Pacific Coast League (PCL1)
Round Rock Express News Release
Dell Diamond, home of the Round Rock Express, is scheduled to make its debut on AMC's Fear the Walking Dead tonight, Sunday, April 22, at 8:00 p.m. CDT. This offseason, the Express partnered with AMC to bring production of the hit show to Central Texas, with Dell Diamond serving as one of the primary set locations for the show's fourth season.
Over the course of several months, Dell Diamond was transformed into a post-apocalyptic set, home of the fictional Armadillos. The Express will rebrand as the Armadillos on Friday, May 5 to pay homage to the show. Crews worked round the clock to bring Dell Diamond back to life in time for Express Fan Fest following the show's last day of production at the ballpark in early March. The renovation process included replacing nearly all of the stadium's signage as well as a complete replacement of the playing surface and outfield berms by RS3 Turf.
Produced by AMC Studios, Fear the Walking Dead is the #4 drama on cable among adults 18-49 and adults 25-54 in Nielson live+3 ratings. The series is executive produced by Scott M. Gimple, showrunners Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg, as well as Robert Kirkman, David Alpert, Gale Anne Hurd and Greg Nicotero. This season stars Kim Dickens, Frank Dillane, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Colman Domingo and Danay Garcia, along with new series regulars Garret Dillahunt, Jenna Elfman, Maggie Grace and Lennie James.
