Master plan completed for OU baseball and softball facilities

Fundraising will begin for renovations to both Oklahoma baseball’s L. Dale Mitchell Park and softball’s Marita Hynes Field, OU Athletic Director Joe Castiglione announced Thursday.

The master plan for both projects—approximately $15 million for the softball stadium and $10 million for the baseball project—is complete.

Castiglione said the work could be done in phases if necessary, much the way the work on the football stadium has been started in phases.

The timeline for the project has yet to be established and figures to depend on fundraising efforts.

The baseball plan calls for terraced seating on the grass berms down both lines, an outdoor lounge, and outdoor concession area with TVs and specialty lighting, expansion of the shade awning down both lines, and expanded upper concourse among other improvements.
