Crews working on the new downtown baseball stadium are hoping for more clear weather.

They are working on putting walls up on the concourse, clubhouse, and the suite levels.
The field and bullpens are nearing completion, while Elgin has been closed for street, sidewalk, and landscaping work.

Construction manager Bob Jack says mother nature threw them some curve balls with rain in September and October, but not enough to strike them out.

"The weather has been kind to us for the last couple of weeks, so that has helped out a lot," said Bob Jack.

ONEOK Field was the site for the kick off of entrepreneurship week in Tulsa.

Leaders who have businesses downtown, hope the February completion will encourage new business in downtown Tulsa.  The first game will be played April 10th.  The seats will be installed November 30th.

A committee formed to decide what to do with the old Driller's Stadium asked for ideas from the citizens of Tulsa.  Drillers president Chuck Lamson says they are compiling that feedback, and will likely meet Friday to work on forming a plan.
