The stadium has recently undergone several renovations, including new backstop, chairback seats and metal bleachers, dugout, scoreboard, sprinkler systems and stadium lights installed in the past couple of years. Seating capacity is 400 with 180 chairback seats.

The current project, which includes wrought iron and brick columns circling the stadium and a new brick entryway, costs $150,000. Southwind Construction Co. is the primary contractor.

"It’s going to be a magnificent structure," OCU coach Denney Crabaugh said. "We want it to become Baseball Central in Oklahoma City where we can get a lot of people on our campus."

It was named after Gen. Jim Wade in April 2005. Wade is a former OCU baseball, basketball and football player and an OCU Athletic Hall of Famer. Wade is a retired Air Force general who was decorated for service in the Korean War.

The stadium sits next to C.R. Sutton Baseball Complex, which includes an indoor hitting facility, locker rooms, dressing rooms and coaches offices. It was completed in 1982.

Overlooking the stadium is the J.R. Homsey press box, built in 2000. The box is lined with baseball memorabilia, including a signed Johnny Bench picture and a mural featuring Harmon Killebrew. It offers season-ticket seating and media facilities comparable to any among small colleges.

The Stars have been nearly unbeatable at home, winning at around a .900 clip over the past five years.
