The countdown is officially on for another summer of baseball at Carson Park as the Eau Claire Express prepare to open their 21st season. For owner Craig Toycen, the excitement is building quickly — even if the Wisconsin weather hasn’t quite caught up yet.

With Opening Day just days away, the Express organization is entering the season with plenty of momentum. From upgraded dugouts and new staff members to expanded community involvement and exciting promotions, there’s a lot happening around Carson Park this summer.
