Tulsa Drillers Baseball at the new ONEOK Field in downtown Tulsa
Last night was my first trip to downtown Tulsa's ONEOK Field, home of the Tulsa Drillers, the Double-A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies Major League Baseball team. Demetrius and I went with friends, Mike and Laurie, for the Tulsa Driller's "Fireworks Friday" game.
We first visited the Tycoon Lounge where we enjoyed adult beverages in air-conditioned comfort and am amazing view behind home plate. They offer a buffet dinner there for a reasonable price which Mike had, but Demetri, Laurie and I had the Chicago hot dog - yum!
We stepped outside on the patio to sing our national anthem, the Star Spangled Banner with the other 8,000 fans in attendance.

Once the ballgame begun, we went down to the stands and took our place in our seats, also behind home plate.
Although we lost 7 to 3 to the Springfield Cardinals, the enthusiasm among the fans was still spirited. At the 7th Inning Stretch, we sang our state song, "Oklahoma", and "Take Me Out to the Ballgame." The fans in the stands even did "the WAVE."
The ballgames have themes each evening and this was "Fireworks Friday." Our ages don't matter, do they? We all enjoy fireworks!
It was a great Friday night date in downtown Tulsa. The revitalization efforts in downtown Tulsa include the new ONEOK Field, the BOK Center, the restoration of the Mayo hotel, the continuing addition of many wonderful restaurants and more.
We are proud of our historic and beautiful art deco buildings in downtown Tulsa. Do come visit downtown Tulsa, and if there's a Tulsa Driller's home game, please do go cheer them on!

Hi Lori,
We haven't been yet, but it looks fun. Great pics! I think I'd like the lounge area too, given the heat we're "enjoying"!
Cool post, Lori! I love baseball, and this looks like a great place to go and have fun with the family!
Oh, it was a GREAT evening!
Bob - you should take the family on a Friday evening as everyone will enjoy the fireworks after the ball game! And the Chicago hot dog was only $3.50. They don't gouge you like they do at the movies!
Melissa - we are pleased that the new stadium in completed. Many of us were reluctant having it moved from "where it's always been," but I think it's a real plus having it in downtown Tulsa. And the parking wasn't too bad either!
Lori....Take me out to the ballgame, buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks....what a good time. You can see alot of very good baseball in the minor leagues.
The joys of a big city. Looks like a fun night.
Carra and Matt - this is just over a mile from our home. We LOVE living this close to downtown Tulsa!
Take me out to the ball game
We will root, root, root for the home team
Let's all pray for no rain
If they don't win we can dream
For it's 1, 2, 3 errors we lost
At the old ball scream.
With apologies to 7th Inning Stretchers.
Jim - I'm guessing you've sung those songs once or twice! :=)
Looks like a fun evening, Lori. Your photos are G-R-E-A-T! Nice post!
