If I’m not mistaken, our ballpark is getting upgrades soon? If so, that’ll help with the image. The 2022 CWS Finals run sure helped bring some life into the sport here. We need that heading to the SEC where no opponent will be easy.

Yes, they have a $15m upgrade coming once they reach donation levels. I think the focus was on softball first but they got some 7 figure donations for baseball.

The project to upgrade L. Dale Mitchell Park will touch every aspect of the complex from the fan seating to the locker rooms, training rooms, coaches’ offices and team meeting areas, are well as a top-of-the-line performance and player development center.

Some of the renderings:









Edit:

Found a more recent info showing they increased scope to $30m.

Total contributions to the Oklahoma Baseball Stadium Project have now exceeded $12 million, with total project costs estimating $30 million.
