Jim Wade Stadium has been the home of Oklahoma City University baseball since 1976.
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 facility has been surrounded with wrought iron and brick columns. Lights were installed in 2005, making night games possible for the first time at Jim Wade Stadium.
The new entryway to Jim Wade Stadium has been named Metheny Alumni Plaza in honor of Les Metheny, a former dean of students and baseball coach at OCU from 1948-85.
The Paul and Kim Sanders ticket booth was named in honor of longtime OCU supporters.
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, having gone 237-32 at home over the past seven years for a .881 winning percentage.
