Oklahoma City and USA Softball have broken ground on the Choctaw Nation Fieldhouse, a new indoor softball practice facility at Devon Park.
The 30,000-square-foot, split-level brick building is expected to help secure Devon Park as the home of the NCAA Women's College World Series beyond 2035, according to a news release
The facility will include two indoor practice infields, team locker rooms, and areas for sports medicine, player development and administration. An enclosed, climate-controlled connection will link the fieldhouse to the stadium, allowing staff, coaches and players to move between the buildings without exposure to weather.
The $21 million project is funded through the OKC 2025 Bond. The Oklahoma Department of Commerce contributed $8 million for stadium improvements, including new chairback seating, improved practice fields, upgraded sound system and protective features.
"This will be a premier softball performance training facility that continues to grow the softball community nationally," Public Works Director Debbie Miller said in a news release. "Our goal is for this to be designated as a United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee training site and to help secure Oklahoma City as the home of the NCAA Women's College World Series beyond 2035."
