Riders Field

Riders Field anchors a sports-and-entertainment cluster in Frisco — one of the fastest-growing suburbs in the United States and the canonical example of a far-north-Dallas master-planned-suburb sports economy. The Star (the Dallas Cowboys' headquarters, practice facility, and Ford Center indoor stadium) sits a short drive south on the Dallas North Tollway. The PGA of America headquarters and Omni PGA Frisco Resort sit a short drive north. Toyota Stadium (FC Dallas of MLS, and home of the National Soccer Hall of Fame) sits a short drive east. Comerica Center (Texas Legends G League and Dallas Stars practice facility) sits adjacent. The Frisco RoughRiders are owned by an ownership group that includes Nolan Ryan's son Reid Ryan. The neighborhood reads as a suburban-master-planned sports cluster with the Cowboys headquarters as the canonical regional anchor — visiting fans frequently pair a RoughRiders date with a stop at The Star.

Plan to arrive 45-60 minutes before first pitch — Frisco parking flow is straightforward and the closest lots fill steadily on weekend home dates. Riders Field opened in 2003 (originally Dr Pepper Ballpark) and is the home of the Frisco RoughRiders, the Double-A Texas League affiliate of the Texas Rangers — the relationship has been continuous since the RoughRiders franchise launched in 2003 and remains one of the highest-profile affiliate pipelines in MiLB. The ballpark was designed by HKS Sports & Entertainment Group and is widely considered one of the most distinctive Double-A ballparks in the country, with the lazy-river-style cabana suites behind the outfield wall as the signature feature. Major-leaguers including Ian Kinsler, Mike Napoli, Elvis Andrus, Justin Smoak, Jurickson Profar, Joey Gallo, and Corey Seager passed through Frisco on the way up through the Rangers system. Mobile-only tickets are the norm. Bag policy and gate-open times shift season to season; confirm on the RoughRiders' site before going.

Riders Field opened in April 2003 in Frisco, Texas (north-Dallas suburb) as Dr Pepper Ballpark, the home of the expansion Frisco RoughRiders. The ballpark was renamed Riders Field in the current naming-rights era. The RoughRiders are the Double-A Texas League affiliate of the Texas Rangers — the relationship has been continuous since the franchise launched in 2003. The ballpark was designed by HKS Sports & Entertainment Group and is widely considered one of the most distinctive Double-A facilities in MiLB, with the lazy-river-style cabana suites behind the outfield wall, multiple outfield berm areas, and the high-end suite count typical of a major-suburban-Dallas facility. Capacity sits around 10,316 — among the largest in MiLB. The RoughRiders are owned by an ownership group that includes Reid Ryan, son of Nolan Ryan. Riders Field anchors a far-north-Dallas suburban sports cluster that also includes The Star (Cowboys HQ) and Toyota Stadium (FC Dallas).
