Round Rock Plot Thickens Amid 'Walking Dead' Filming Speculation

ROUND ROCK, TX — Speculation is mounting about filming at Dell Diamond that's been turned into a movie set, with some theorizing the fourth season of the prequel series "Fear the Walking Dead is being shot there.

Photographer Justin Snider of Rock Studios has posted a series of aerial photos from above the Round Rock Express home stadium on his Facebook page, fueling speculation of what might be filming there. The created landscape has that dystopian look to it, leading some observers to theorize the film set is for the post-apocalyptic drama.

Yet information on the filming project is hard to come by. Dell Diamond has been turned into a secretive set, and nobody knows who's involved in the filming. But fans of the show are still excited at even the possibility the drama centered on the un-dead is secretly filming its fourth season at the stadium.

"It is confidential. I was asking around," Mike Boudreaux wrote on the Rock Studio Facebook page. "They are building wooden structures over the dugouts and there is some sort of piping from the pool area to tanks."

Suzanne Kitchens Gardner also spoke to the set's secrecy: "Dell diamond is being rented by Gov. Abbott aka state of Texas for the next 5-6 months," she offered. "No explanation. It's all hush hush."

Kim Jones wrote she believes the set is for a less spectacular production: "A gardening series? I see gardens."

But all roads led to "Fear the Walking Dead," as evidenced by a reply by Julia Arce Quintero: "If it’s for the series "Fear the Walking Dead," they’d definitely need a few gardens to feed the survivors."

Whatever's being filmed there, there is one set of people who likely aren't sharing in the excitement, observed Jeffrey Phillips: "Meanwhile, the groundskeeper crew is off crying somewhere."
