NOTE: UPDATE - April 2012 - The Chickasaw Nation has acquired naming rights to this ballfield. The new name is Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark.
Oklahoma Native America - Oklahoma's tourism website at www.travelok.com highlights the Ballpark as one of the fun Things to Do when visiting Oklahoma. Oklahoma City has rallied 'round their team - RedHawks Baseball is very popular.
This $35,000,000 ballpark, constructed in 1998 has been named one of the top two minor league ballparks in the U.S. by national publications. It is the home of the Oklahoma City RedHawks, a Triple-A affiliate of the Houston Astros. (UPDATE 12/2014: THE TEAM HAS A NEW OWNER AND IS NOW THE LOS ANGELES DODGERS TRIPLE A TEAM AND IS KNOWN AS THE OKLAHOMA CITY DODGERS).
Located at the intersection of E. Reno Avenue and Mickey Mantle Drive, the ballpark pays tribute to several Oklahoma-born major league heroes. The left field entrance is called Mickey Mantle Plaza; the right field plaza honors Warren Spahn, and the main entrance is named Johnny Bench Plaza. Near the Mickey Mantle Plaza along the sidewalk are seven busts of Oklahoma-born major leaguers, with the stories of their careers.
This is a state-of-the-art ballpark, which provides shops, luxury suites, and a year-round, sports theme restaurant. There are four food service stations on the main concourse and two elevators to the upper levels.
Games can be heard on 1340 AM radio, as well as online at the team website. A retail SportShop is open 9-5, Mon-Fri year round and sells hats, clothing and souvenirs.
