Oklahoma softball: Saying goodbye to a home field that has produced a dynasty

Marita Hynes Field, the home of Oklahoma softball for the past 26 years, has hosted its last official college game. Although its days of competition and celebration are now relegated to the past, the memories and moments that were created there will forever be a part of the Sooners’ grand legacy.

Opened in 1998 as the OU Softball Complex, the brand new stadium was one of the first outside of the Pac-12 Conference to be built exclusively for softball. In 2004, the stadium was renamed in honor of Marita Hynes, who coached the Oklahoma softball team from 1977 to 1984.
