Outlets are requested to submit an application for each member of their staff wishing to receive a media credential. Full-season media credentials will be valid for all Round Rock Express games at Dell Diamond. Requests for daily media credentials must be received at least 24 hours in advance of the game for which the request is made.

Season media credentials will be available for pickup beginning on Express Opening Day, which is set for Thursday, May 6 as the Oklahoma City Dodgers (Los Angeles Dodgers affiliate) visit Dell Diamond for a six-game series.

Information about a potential virtual Round Rock Express Media Day will be communicated in the coming weeks. Round Rock’s Opening Day roster is expected to be finalized and released in early May.

Per Major League Baseball’s initial media regulations for the 2021 season, in-person and face-to-face interviews will not be permitted. Instead, all interviews will be conducted via video conference or telephone call. Virtual interviews will be recorded and made available to the media. To request a virtual interview, please contact Round Rock Express Manager, PR & Communications Andrew Felts via email at [email protected] or by phone at (512) 238-2213.

Access to the field, including camera wells, will not be permitted to begin the 2021 season. Media members will instead be permitted to cover games from the press box, seating bowl and other approved off-field locations at Dell Diamond, provided they wear a mask at all times and do not obstruct the view of any fans sitting in their ticketed seats. The press box at Dell Diamond will only be available to working credentialed media.

Media members will not be permitted in restricted areas or in close proximity to Tier 1 individuals, which include all players, on-field personnel and other staff who need direct physical contact with players. Restricted areas are sections and routes within Dell Diamond utilized by Tier 1 personnel, including clubhouses, locker rooms, playing fields, dugouts, bullpens, training rooms, weight rooms and interview rooms.

Media members will be allowed into Dell Diamond no earlier than 90 minutes prior to the scheduled start of each game and must leave the ballpark no later than 90 minutes following the conclusion of each game.

By receiving a media credential, media members agree to observe all rules and other precautionary steps that are in place to preserve health and safety set forth by Major League Baseball and the Round Rock Express. Media members must wear approved face coverings over their nose and mouth at all times while present at Dell Diamond, whether indoors or outdoors. Failure to comply with any health and safety initiatives will result in a loss of access to Dell Diamond.

As a general reminder, media credentials must be worn at all times, are non-transferrable and can be revoked at any time. Any member of the media who violates any of the aforementioned regulations will lose their accreditation, with no exceptions.

The Express kick off the 2021 season on Thursday, May 6 against the Oklahoma City Dodgers (Los Angeles Dodgers affiliate) at 7:05 p.m. at Dell Diamond.
