Port City Roosters

The Xpress played at Herschel Greer Stadium, home of the Nashville Sounds, for two seasons while the team sought a permanent location.

In order to accommodate a second team at Greer Stadium, the Xpress' home games were scheduled during the Sounds' road trips and vice versa.

[4] In January 1995, the team's owner, Dennis Bastien, arrived at terms to move the franchise to Springfield, Missouri, where they would play in a new stadium scheduled to open in 1997.

[7] Bastien made an attempt to place the team in the Springfield suburb of Ozark, but residents voted down a sales tax increase to pay for a stadium.

[13] Among the better-known future major leaguers who wore the Roosters' uniform were catcher Jason Varitek, pitchers Derek Lowe and Ryan Franklin, shortstop Desi Relaford, and outfielders José Cruz Jr. and Raúl Ibañez.
