Oklahoma softball welcomes back Home Run Village
Can’t make it to Oklahoma softball this weekend in Norman? Welcome back the second chance for Sooner fans to experience the action in a different way.
Home Run Village is returning for the regional, beginning Friday afternoon at Marita Hynes Field. Home Run Village is sponsored by the People of Oklahoma Oil and Natural Gas and is back for the third year in a row.
A limited number of tickets went on sale Tuesday morning for the Oklahoma regional, but they didn’t last long. The Sooners, 51-1 overall, are the No. 1 seed in the postseason. OU begins the tournament vs. Hofstra at 4 p.m. Friday. Missouri and California will play following the first game. It’s a double-elimination format that will conclude Sunday afternoon.
Tickets went on sale to the general public at 10 a.m., but by 10:08 it was already announced all the tickets had been sold.
Home Run Village gives fans a free option to experience a part of the atmosphere at the OU Softball Complex.
The fan fest will open two hours prior to first pitch and run through all games with a 9×16 ANC Mobile Video Board showing game action live with the 107.7 The Franchise radio feed synced with the game.
Fans with tickets who attend the pregame festivities may enter the stadium via the gate beyond left field. Note that HRV will only be open during the OU games. It will not be open for any neutral games between any of the other teams in attendance at this weekend’s regional.
Fans are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets for seating to watch the games, and are permitted to bringing their own beverages. Tents are prohibited.
Oklahoma is riding a 43-game winning streak and went 15-0 against all the other national seeds. The Sooners played 10 of the other remaining 15 national seeds this season.
