Oklahoma planning $30MM renovation to baseball park as they prepare to join the SEC. https://www.thesoonerclub.com/baseball.html

“They showed me (renderings of) the field,” Oklahoma coach Skip Johnson said. “It was incredible. It’s really going to be a new stadium. I mean, we’re fixing to go into the SEC. They’re moving toward that.”

Never willing to be outdone, Texas also wants to grow. Coach David Pierce said he would like to enclose the outfield at Disch-Falk Field and double the seating capacity of 6,985 as an SEC program.

“There’s a chance you’re going to be playing Friday night games, and there’s going to be 15,000 (in attendance),” Pierce said. “That’s pretty awesome. And every weekend on the road, you’re facing that. It’s a whole ’nother level when you get into those fan bases and bring in those types of schools that aren’t just good in baseball, they have the history in athletics.”
