Being a native South Texan who had some of the best years of my life in Austin, I absolutely get the attraction for the Rangers to Round Rock, but, Oklahoma City is a class act, and a real loss.

Here's a little fun history,

I think it will be interesting to see how the fans cheer in Round Rock and OKC when the Redhawks or Express are in town. I'm sure we'll hear something about it from Scott Lucas or Jason Cole. Since the Brewers are staying in Nashville, it looks like OKC is a lock to be the new Astros affiliate.
