Ball Park Comparisons

I was interested in getting information regarding Oklahoma's baseball facility. Don't know if this has been posted yet:
Quick Facts: L. Dale Mitchell Park
Year Opened 1982
Renovated 2002, '08, '09, '11, '12
Official Capacity 3,180
Largest Crowd 4,544 vs. Texas (5/4/1995)
Dimensions LF: 335, CF: 411, RF: 335
I found this first paragraph on the Sooner baseball site to be intriguing:
"Consistently voted as one of the top playing surfaces in college baseball, L. Dale Mitchell Park provides a state-of-the-art facility for the OU baseball program."
I don't know if they have played in a venue like The Box.

What's the biggest crowd they have seen this year?

Have seen them play a few times on TV. No backstop behind home plate at all. Would be interesting to see a game from behind there.

It looks nice for a small park.

Last year they won the Charlottesville regional and lost at South Carolina in the Supers.

I guess they're pretty good at growing grass. It's been a few years since my last stop in Norman, but it gets very windy up there. Their ballpark is similar to our softball stadium in that it is cut into a berm.

LSU's talent & the simple fact that it's not home will affect OU more than the specific venue...IMO.

Oklahoma sportscaster on Moscona's show just said they played their Super Regional last year at USCe.

I played there a few times in Junior College. It's a nice facility. A player of the caliber of Jonathan Gray won't be affected by the crowd size at the Box. He's had dozens of professional scouts at each of his games this season to watch him pitch.

Our stadium is shite. OU doesn't have very good fan support for baseball.
shite is probably the wrong word. It's just tiny

Anyone who is used to playing in front of 2k people will get a little rattled when playing in front of 10k. Just saying
