"Home of the Oklahoma City Dodgers, the Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark opened in 1998 and was part of the original revitalization plans for Bricktown. The stadium can hold up to 13,000 people and since there is nothing quite like catching a ball game,  it is a great place to spend a summer evening in Oklahoma City. To see the full schedule or learn more about the Dodgers, head over to the OKC Dodgers website."
