Oneok Field


While one doesn't usually think of a ball field in terms of eating out, we do, nevertheless, eat there. The food was hyped in the news as being a cut above what one would expect, so we expected something better than most stadium food.


Sadly, it didn't live up to it's hype. I got a chili-cheese hotdog while Phoebe got a regular dog. She says hers was fine. Mine was a bit less than that. The "cheesefood goop" over the "chili" was disappointing. Made me long for a Jim's or Coney I-lander or Carl's. Our friends rated their burgers as "good." Maybe I've just become a grumpy old man.



Oneok Field, on the other hand, is a terrific facility. Seats are comfortable, visibility is as good as it gets, the concessions are arranged so the you never lose sight of the game while making a grub run, bath rooms are large and nice. The Drillers were in top form this night, leading the entire game and defeating the Cardinals 4 to 2. A beautiful evening topped off with a spectacular fireworks display!
