Baseball Welcomes New Scoreboard

NORMAN, Okla. -- L. Dale Mitchell Park, the home of OU baseball, received another addition to the facility this week as construction on a new scoreboard began.

The Sooners and OU fans will enjoy a brand new scoreboard complete with a LED video display that it is located directly to the right of the existing board at the ballpark, which will be torn down before the season starts.

The video board measures 36 feet wide and 21 feet tall, while the scoreboard will display all of the normal features of a regular baseball board in addition to the speed of the pitches during games, another new feature at Sooner baseball games this season.

The Sooners also added a brand new, state-of-the art, sound system to L. Dale Mitchell Park last week. The new audio system contains 20-plus speakers that were installed over the seating area for a better fan experience.

On Tuesday, Feb. 10, the steel framework that will hold the entire scoreboard structure was raised and put into the ground behind the outfield wall at the facility. The entire structure measures 51 feet tall and is 43 feet wide.

On Thursday, Feb. 12, the scoreboard will be added to the lower portion of the framework. The LED video screen is projected to be raised next week.

The entire project is expected to be completed by March 1.

Earlier this year, the baseball team opened a practice facility that features indoor hitting cages and an outdoor practice infield.
