L. Dale Mitchell Park, located on the University of Oklahoma campus in Norman, Oklahoma, is a premier baseball stadium that serves as the home field for the OU Sooners baseball team. Named in honor of L. Dale Mitchell, a legendary figure in OU athletics, the park is known for its state-of-the-art facilities and inviting atmosphere, offering fans an exceptional experience while supporting the team.
The stadium features comfortable seating, modern amenities, and excellent views of the field, making it a popular spot for baseball fans. During the 1998 season, the park received an upper concourse featuring additional restrooms and concession stands. Before the 2002 campaign, a disability-accessible elevator was installed, and the press box underwent improvements and expansion, including VIP suites.
OU added a practice facility before the 2009 season, including a regulation-size natural grass infield and a 5,160 square-foot indoor hitting facility. The building contains three full-size pitching and hitting lanes and is heated and air conditioned. The 22,500-square-foot space is down the left-field line adjacent to the Sooner bullpen. The ballpark received a new video and scoreboard in 2009 and additional chair back seats before the 2011 and 2012 seasons. The playing surface received new field turf in 2024. With a rich history of hosting exciting games and significant events, L. Dale Mitchell Park is also a venue for various community activities and special events throughout the year.
