Frisco RoughRiders partner with Wing Drone Delivery

FRISCO, Texas (September 12, 2023) – The Frisco RoughRiders had an exciting new partnership in 2023 with Wing Drove Delivery, including the delivery of every home game's first-pitch ball via drone.

"We’re so excited to bring Wing to Riders Field," said RoughRiders General Manager Scott Burchett. "Throwing out a first pitch is always special, but throwing out a first pitch with a ball delivered right to the field by a Wing drone is a one-of-a-kind experience here in Frisco. We’re looking forward to other fun promotions with Wing in the near future."

Wing provides drone delivery in Frisco, the broader Dallas-Fort Worth Area and all around the world. Their fleet of lightweight, autonomous delivery drones can transport small packages directly from businesses to homes in minutes.

“Frisco, Little Elm, and the broader Dallas-Fort Worth area continue to be at the forefront of drone delivery. We are thrilled to work with the Frisco RoughRiders to bring the first-pitch ball into the field in the Wing delivery way.” - Jacob Demmitt, US Communications.

Wing has delivered to homes, public parks, golf courses and many more unique and complex venues - including ballparks.

About the RoughRiders

The Frisco RoughRiders are the Double-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers and the 2022 Texas League champions. In 2023, the team is celebrating its 20th anniversary and has consistently finished in the top five among all Double-A franchises in attendance yearly. In August 2014, the RoughRiders were purchased by an ownership group led by Chuck Greenberg. Since then, the new ownership group, together with the City of Frisco, has spearheaded numerous major franchise enhancements, investing over $8 million in a wide array of facility upgrades and improvements, including a state-of-the-art HD video board, sound system, Bull Moose Saloon, Bullpen Bar, Riders Outpost Team Store and the world's largest water feature in a sports facility, the massive Lazy River. These enhancements earned the Riders and the City of Frisco Ballpark Digest's prestigious "Best Ballpark Renovation" award for two consecutive years (2015 and 2016). More than 190 former RoughRiders players have gone on to play Major League Baseball including current Rangers Josh Jung, Grant Anderson and Martin Perez.
