Spring in the Chippewa Valley always brings a few familiar sights — the first warm days, the return of green along the river, and the sound of baseball coming back to Carson Park. For many of us, that’s when it really feels like the season has changed. And this year, the Eau Claire Express are gearing up for another summer of great baseball, family fun, and community pride.
At Toycen Ford, we’ve been part of this community for more than 70 years, and the Express hold a special place in that story. They’re more than a baseball team — they’re a gathering place. A tradition. A reason for families, friends, and neighbors to come together on warm Wisconsin nights and cheer for something local.
A New Season, A Fresh Start
Every Express season brings new players, new energy, and new moments waiting to happen. Whether you’re a long‑time season ticket holder or someone who catches a few games each summer, there’s something special about that first walk into Carson Park — the smell of ballpark food, the crack of the bat, and the buzz of a crowd that loves its team.
This year’s roster brings a mix of returning talent and new faces from top college programs across the country. The Northwoods League is known for showcasing future stars, and Eau Claire has a long history of sending players on to the next level. You never know which player you’re watching today who might be on a big‑league field tomorrow.
A Ballpark Experience Built for Families
One of the best parts of Express baseball is how accessible it is. Affordable tickets, great promotions, theme nights, kids’ activities, and a ballpark that feels like home — it’s everything summer baseball should be. Whether you’re bringing the whole family, meeting friends after work, or enjoying a night out with your kids, Carson Park delivers every time.
Proud to Support a Community Tradition
As a locally owned business, Toycen Ford is proud to support organizations that make the Chippewa Valley a better place to live. The Express are one of those organizations. They bring people together, create memories, and give our community something to cheer for all summer long. And our family is proud to be a part of their story for another season.
We’re excited for Opening Day, excited to see fans back in the stands, and excited for another season of baseball under the lights.
See You at the Ballpark
The first pitch is coming soon — and we’ll be there. If you see any of the Toycen Family at the park this summer, stop by and say hello. We love meeting the people who make this community what it is.
Here’s to warm nights, cold drinks, great baseball, and another unforgettable season with the Eau Claire Express.
