Hoping for a baseball experience right in the heart of Oklahoma? ONEOK Field gives fans a modern ballpark vibe mixed with a bit of Tulsa’s history. You’ll find it in downtown’s Greenwood District, where the Tulsa Drillers have played since 2010.
ONEOK Field stands out for its downtown location, wraparound concourse, and all the ballpark basics that make for a fun day at the game, no matter your age. Grab the usual stadium snacks and wander to different spots for new angles on the action.
If you’re mapping out a baseball road trip, ONEOK Field fits neatly into an Oklahoma baseball adventure. The Oklahoma City Dodgers play just up the ladder, so you can catch both teams without leaving the state. Plus, being in downtown Tulsa means you can hit up other local spots before or after the game.
Overview of ONEOK Field
ONEOK Field serves as a modern baseball venue right in downtown Tulsa. It’s a functional, urban ballpark that nods to the city’s past while keeping things easy for visitors.
History and Significance
ONEOK Field opened in 2010, giving the Tulsa Drillers (Double-A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies, now with the Los Angeles Dodgers) a fresh home after decades at Drillers Stadium.
The city invested about $39.2 million into the ballpark, hoping it would help breathe new life into downtown and anchor the Brady Arts District’s growth.
ONEOK, Inc.—a Tulsa-based natural gas company—bought the naming rights. The stadium isn’t just for baseball; FC Tulsa soccer matches happen here, too, thanks to a retractable pitching mound that makes switching sports pretty quick.
Location and Directions
You’ll find ONEOK Field in the historic Greenwood District at 201 N. Elgin, right in downtown’s entertainment hub next to the Brady Arts District.
Getting there isn’t complicated. From I-244, just take the Detroit Avenue exit and follow the signs. Several public lots surround the stadium for parking.
If you’re using Tulsa Transit, buses stop within walking distance. Rideshare drop-offs sit close to the main entrance, which makes things easy.
With its downtown spot, you can walk to hotels, restaurants, and other attractions.
Stadium Layout
ONEOK Field’s wraparound concourse lets you circle the field and catch the game from just about anywhere. For baseball, the stadium seats around 7,833.
Seating choices include:
- Field-level box seats
- Club level with air-conditioned access
- Outfield berm seating (general admission)
- Luxury suites for groups
The 360-degree concourse gives you great views of the field and the Tulsa skyline. It’s very much a modern minor league setup, focused on fan comfort and accessibility.
You’ll find typical ballpark eats and some local treats at the concession stands. Near the main entrance, the team store sells Drillers gear.
Attending a Tulsa Drillers Game

Game Day Atmosphere
When you walk up to ONEOK Field, you’ll notice the modern look and the buzz of downtown. The stadium’s been here since 2010, and it’s made the Greenwood District even more vibrant on game nights.
The concourse wraps all the way around, so you can stroll, grab food, or hit the restroom and still keep an eye on the action.
Bring your camera! Personal cameras and video equipment are allowed as long as you’re not blocking anyone’s view.
Friday nights mean fireworks—big, bright displays over downtown. These games get crowded, so showing up early is smart if you want a good spot.
AA Baseball Experience
The Drillers play at Double-A, just two steps below the majors. You’ll see real prospects, some of whom could be in the big leagues soon.
Since they’re with the Dodgers now, you’re catching future LA talent in action. Plenty of current MLB players started on this field.
Tickets stay affordable, so families and casual fans can enjoy a game without breaking the bank.
With only about 7,000 seats, you’re close to the field no matter where you sit.
OPS, Hitting, and Power Displays
If you love offense, ONEOK Field is a treat. The park’s dimensions favor hitters, so you’ll see your share of home runs.
Keep an eye on players with high OPS (on-base plus slugging). These guys often move up fast. The Drillers usually have a few power bats that can really launch one.
Right field—“Drillers Alley”—is a favorite for left-handed sluggers. On hot summer nights, balls seem to fly out that way.
Between innings, check the outfield scoreboard for player stats. It’s a handy way to spot prospects who might be on their way up.

Visiting the Golden Driller
The Golden Driller is one of Tulsa’s most famous landmarks, about 15 minutes from ONEOK Field. Standing 76 feet tall, this statue nods to Tulsa’s oil industry roots.

Tips for Visiting ONEOK Field
A little planning goes a long way for a fun trip to ONEOK Field. Here are a few practical tips to help you enjoy the Tulsa Drillers and get the most out of the stadium.
What to Bring
You’ll want comfortable shoes, since wandering the concourse and checking out different views is half the fun. Sunscreen is a must for day games—even if you manage to find covered seats.
Bring a small, clear bag for your stuff; security checks are standard. You can take in one sealed water bottle per person, which helps you save on drinks.
Consider packing:
- Cash for vendors that don’t take cards
- A baseball glove if you’re sitting in foul ball territory
- A light jacket for evening games (it can cool off fast)
- A camera to snap shots of the downtown skyline
Most seats have decent shade, but a hat doesn’t hurt for those sunny afternoons.
Family-Friendly Activities
The Tulsa Drillers keep kids busy with games and activities between innings. There’s a kids’ play area near right field where little ones can burn off energy.
Swing by the team store for Drillers gear and souvenirs in kid sizes. Hornsby, the bull mascot, makes appearances throughout the game—kids love chasing him down for photos.
Sunday games are especially family-friendly. Kids can play catch on the field before the game and run the bases after. The refinery deck in right field has picnic tables where families can hang out.
If you’re bringing very young kids, hearing protection is a good idea—crowd noise can get pretty loud during exciting plays.
Getting the Most Out of Your Visit
Show up a bit early if you can—catching batting practice is always a treat, and you might even snag an autograph from a Tulsa Drillers player if you’re lucky. Gates usually swing open about 60 to 90 minutes before the first pitch.
Skip the usual stadium hot dog and check out the other food options. ONEOK Field has 21 concession stands and carts with local eats and icy drinks—trust me, you’ll want something cold when the Oklahoma sun’s blazing.
Each seating area brings its own vibe:
- Home plate – you’ll see every pitch up close, which is pretty cool if you love the chess match between pitcher and batter.
- First base line – probably your best bet for shade during those sticky evening games.
- Outfield lawn – easy on the wallet, and honestly, it’s just a chill spot to hang out.
Don’t just stay put—wander the full concourse and soak in different angles of the game and the downtown Tulsa skyline. If you’re around on a Thursday, look out for promos and drink discounts; they pop up pretty often.
