NORMAN\u00a0\u2014 The Oklahoma baseball team\u00a0has moved its originally-scheduled home opener from Tuesday, Feb. 17 vs. New Mexico State in Norman to Monday, Feb. 16 at 6:30 p.m. CT at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.<\/p>\n
The change comes after last week’s winter weather conditions delayed outfield construction at Kimrey Family Stadium in Norman.<\/p>\n
“The extra few days will greatly benefit our construction crews after the winter storm we had,” said OU head coach Skip Johnson<\/a>. “We’re extremely appreciative of their commitment to finishing this step of the project for us to play on our home field this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n “Any time you get the chance to play in a Major League ballpark and world-class facility like Globe Life Field you take advantage of that opportunity,” continued Johnson. “We’ll extend our opening-weekend stay in Arlington and be ready for the home opener in front of Sooner Nation on Friday the 20th.”<\/p>\n All tickets for the game at Globe Life Field will be general admission and are on sale now for $15 at\u00a0CollegeBaseballSeries.com<\/a>. Prices are subject to applicable taxes and fees. Livestream information will be announced at a later time.<\/p>\n Fans that purchased single-game tickets for the game in Norman may exchange it for a ticket to any other home non-conference game. The ticket office will contact these customers by email or phone.<\/p>\n The Sooners will now open their\u00a0home slate at Kimrey Family Stadium, formerly L. Dale Mitchell Park,\u00a0on Friday, Feb. 20 at 4 p.m. CT vs. Coppin State, the first of a three-game weekend set.\u00a0<\/p>\n Tickets for all home games at Kimrey Family Stadium\u00a0are available for purchase at\u00a0SoonerSports.com\/tickets<\/a>\u00a0or by calling the\u00a0OU Athletics\u00a0Ticket Office\u00a0by phone at 405-325-2424.<\/p>\n For updates and more information on Oklahoma Baseball, follow the Sooners on X and Instagram (@OU_Baseball<\/a>) and like\u00a0Oklahoma Baseball<\/a>\u00a0on Facebook.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NORMAN\u00a0\u2014 The Oklahoma baseball team\u00a0has moved its originally-scheduled home opener from Tuesday, Feb. 17 vs. New Mexico State…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":151856,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[150,152,151],"class_list":{"0":"post-151855","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arlington","8":"tag-arlington","9":"tag-arlington-headlines","10":"tag-arlington-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/151855","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=151855"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/151855\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/151856"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=151855"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=151855"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=151855"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
