Metairie, LA --- The New Orleans Zephyrs of the Class AAA Pacific Coast League are pleased to announce that the Zephyrs will open their 13th season in a new division in the Pacific Coast League.

The Zephyrs move from the Eastern Division to the PCL's Southern Division in the American Conference. They are joined by Oklahoma RedHawks, Albuquerque Isotopes and Round Rock Express as new division rivals. The Zephyrs will play each of these teams 16 times, divided evenly between home and away contests.

The realignment sets up an intriguing rivalry between the Zephyrs and the Round Rock Express, who became the new affiliate of the Houston Astros, with the Zephyrs now affiliated with the Expos. The 2005 roster of the Round Rock Express is likely to feature a number of former New Orleans Zephyrs players.
