The ownership group of the Express is led by Hall of Fame pitcher and Texas native Nolan Ryan; his sons Reid and Reese hold executive positions.
In 2005, the Express will become a Class AAA team in the Pacific Coast League. The Ryans and their fellow investors purchased the PCL's Edmonton Trappers in 2003, and will move that team to Round Rock. At the same time, the Texas League team will move to Corpus Christi, Texas, where a new stadium is being built at this writing, and receive a new name.
