OU Athletics Communications Press Release

NORMAN – Due to ongoing complications resulting from extreme winter weather in the region, the University of Oklahoma baseball team has made additional changes to its schedule for the first weekend of the season.
 
OU will now host Nebraska Omaha on Sunday and Monday, Feb. 21-22, at L. Dale Mitchell Park. Game times are 2:30 p.m. Sunday and noon Monday. The Sooners will no longer travel to Corpus Christi, Texas, for a previously scheduled series at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi this weekend.
 
“I want to recognize our Athletics grounds and maintenance staffs and the staff from Jimmie Austin OU Golf Club for their incredible work to clear the field,” OU Senior Associate Athletics Director Greg Tipton said. “Our focus has been on clearing the playing surface and team areas, and our staff has done an outstanding job preparing the facility to host baseball games this weekend.”
 
With emphasis only on clearing the playing surface and team areas of snow and ice, rather than the seating bowl and walkways, stadium entry for the games against Omaha on Sunday and Monday will be limited strictly to essential staff critical for game management. Fans, outside media and scouts will not be permitted to attend these games. Plans remain in place to accommodate limited fan attendance for the remainder of Oklahoma’s home schedule.
 
Live video will be available via SoonerSports.tv, and the games will be broadcast on Sportstalk 1400 AM/99.3 FM in Norman and on the TuneIn app anywhere. Live stats will be available via OUStats.com.
