According to the Express, the field was transformed into a post-apocalyptic set over the course of several months, becoming the home of the fictional Armadillos. To pay homage to the show, the Express will rebrand as the Armadillos during its game on May 5.
The Express said crews worked around the clock to bring Dell Diamond back to life in time for its "Express Fan Fest" following the show's last day of production at the ballpark in early March. This renovation process included replacing nearly all of the stadium's signage, the field's turf and outfield berms.
The fourth season of "Fear the Walking Dead" stars Kim Dickens, Frank Dillane, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Colman Domingo and Danay Garcia, along with new series regulars Garret Dillahunt, Jenna Elfman, Maggie Grace and Lennie James.
