Arlington, TX—The Texas Rangers and @Rangers today announced details for the team’s 2013 Social Media Weekend, June 28-30 when the Cincinnati Reds come to Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.
The three days of activities will be highlighted by the return of #TexasTweetUp on Saturday, June 29.

Space is limited for #TexasTweetUp and packages can be purchased on-line at texasrangers.com/texastweetup.
All fans who purchase the package will have access to an exclusive pregame #TexasTweetUp event in the Hall of Fame Theater from 4:15-5:15 p.m. Rangers radio broadcaster Matt Hicks (@radiohicksie) will host a roundtable discussion featuring members of the media who cover the team every day. There will be other special guests, including Rangers pitcher Robbie Ross (@Ross_108).
Of course, tweeting will be encouraged by all throughout the event!
