For the last 20 years, Patty Gasso constructed a powerhouse softball program from the Sooners' headquarters at Marita Hynes Field.

But the Oklahoma head coach may have some new digs in the near future.

A proposal for the construction of a new softball facility is up for approval at the Oklahoma Board of Regents Meeting next week.

The proposal was included in the meeting agenda released Thursday.

After further examining the space around the existing structure and adjacent areas, OU determined it made more sense to construct a new facility rather than update the existing for a third time since it opened in 1998.
