Love's Field
On October 28, 2021, OU Vice President and Athletics Director Joe Castiglione announced that Love's Travel Stops, the nation's leading travel stop network, has provided the lead and naming gift for the University of Oklahoma's new softball stadium. The new facility will be called Love's Field. The company has generously pledged a total gift of $12 million, which is the largest philanthropic gift directed toward a female-specific sports program in OU Athletics history.
Love's Field will be the new home to champions with aligning state-of-the-art training facilities for OU Softball student-athletes and coaches. The new facility will feature a 10,669-square-foot indoor training facility, which is more than double the size of the current training space, and several team spaces including a training room, locker room and classroom. It will also have space for a recognition area to showcase national championships, All-Americans and other outstanding accomplishments. Plans call for the overall square footage of the complex to reach 44,000 compared to 15,168 at Marita Hynes Field.
Kinzie Hansen closed Marita Hynes Field in style.
She blasted a home run to extend Oklahoma’s winning streak last year, playing the hero against Clemson in Super Regional play to send OU to the Women’s College World Series. In the first game ever at Love’s Field, the Sooners’ new softball palace, she delivered again with a walk-off home run that powered OU to a 9-7 win in the home and stadium opener.
In the bottom of the seventh, Hansen basically called game. Oklahoma entered the final inning in complete control, having rallied from a three-run deficit to lead 7-3. But then pitcher Karlie Keeney surrendered back-to-back-to-back home runs to the nation’s leader in long balls, the Miami (OH) Redhawks, to tie the game and bring OU’s bats to the plate.
As they’ve done so many times, the Sooners delivered. Rylie Boone’s leadoff single proved to be overkill, as Hansen smashed a no-doubter to walk off the Redhawks. Oklahoma’s 9-7 win not only was a dramatic way to open the new stadium, but it extended the longest winning streak in college softball history to 68 games.
Oklahoma moved to 15-0 on the year with the win, dropping Miami to 9-3 in the process.
