ONEOK Field (Drillers Stadium), Tulsa
Opened in 1981, Drillers Stadium is a minor league baseball stadium, located in the Tulsa metropolitan area. From 1981 to 2009, Drillers Stadium was home to the Tulsa Drillers, a minor league baseball team which plays in the Texas League.
Tulsa County completed 8,000 seat Robert B. Sutton Stadium in 1981, naming it for its chief benefactor, a local oil executive. Sutton, however, was convicted in 1982 on obstruction of justice charges, and as a result the County renamed the ballpark Tulsa County Stadium. In 1989, Drillers Stadium received its current name.
The stadium now seats 10,997, making it the largest stadium in Double-A baseball. Originally a multi-purpose stadium with an artificial surface playing field, it now features a Prescription Athletic Turf (PAT) grass surface. Since its installation in 1993, the field has regularly been rated one of the best in the Texas League by players and managers.
Though it has primarily served as a baseball stadium, monster truck rallies and concerts can be held here. On December 19, 2008, construction began on a new ballpark in downtown Tulsa, ONEOK Field, which replaced Drillers Stadium before the 2010 baseball season.
