O'Brate Stadium

STUDIOARCHITECTURE was tasked with designing a state-of-the-art new home for one of the most tradition-rich programs in college baseball. This stadium will be unlike any other collegiate baseball facility in the country, including a full wraparound concourse, glass batters eye, player development
center, clubhouse, indoor training facility, and practice infield all included in one connected complex.

Great emphasis was placed on the fan experience. Up to 8,000 fans can enjoy such amenities as “tailgating tents” on the concourse behind the outfield and a family pavilion with its own playground for children. Students can enjoy supporting their team from the dedicated student section, complete with its own
club. Thirteen suites provide a luxurious view of the natural grass playing surface. A 2,000 square foot video board allows for top-of-the-line graphics and video content to further enhance the game-day experience. Player development is a key element of OSU’s baseball program, and this facility supports that mission with multiple player amenities. The player development center includes an indoor batting facility, a pitching lab, a tiered player classroom, and an artificial turf infield practice area. A 26,000 square foot team clubhouse contains lockers for 45 players, a training room with hydrotherapy tubs, a hydration/nutrition station, and a sports medicine area. This facility contains
countless amenities that continue OSU’s commitment to excellence and gives its student athletes the ability to compete at the highest level.
