OU Softball: Oklahoma's Home Run Village is Back for Norman Regional
By OU Media Relations
Home Run Village returns for the 2023 postseason outside Marita Hynes Field for this weekend's NCAA Norman Regional.
Home Run Village, presented by Sooner Sports Properties and the People of Oklahoma Oil and Natural Gas, started during the 2021 postseason and is an interactive fan entertainment area on the lawn immediately west of Marita Hynes Field.
Although tickets are sold out for this weekend's regional, Home Run Village gives fans a free option to come be a part of the atmosphere at the OU Softball Complex.
The fan fest will open two hours prior to first pitch and run through all games with a 9x16 ANC Mobile Video Board showing game action live with the 107.7 The Franchise radio feed synced with the game. Fans with tickets that attend the pregame festivities may enter the stadium via the gate beyond left field. Note that HRV will only be open during the OU games, not any neutral games between any of the other teams in attendance at this weekend's regional.
Sooner fans of all ages can access the fan fest and take part in the festivities free of charge. Highlights include sponsor giveaways, face painting, interactive inflatables, food vendors and more.
Fans are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets for seating to watch the games, and are permitted to bringing their own beverages. Tents are prohibited.
