Team History

The Dayton Dragons are a Cincinnati Reds affiliate in the Midwest League. They play their home games at Fifth Third Field in Dayton, Ohio. They were previously based in Rockford, Illinois and were named the Rockford Expos (1988-1992), Rockford Royals (1993-1994), Rockford Cubbies (1995-1998), and Rockford Reds (1999).
