Bouse Sports Complex

Was out walking the dog and stopped by this complex to check it out. Looks like a very nice area with several ball fields and a water play area(also not open). This complex looks like it can handle quite a lot of folks based on the parking areas available. The fields look really nice each having there own concession area. Each concession area covers 4 ball fields with a total of 8 all together. I only noticed one way in and out which could really get frustrating when trying to leave after a long day. Not sure why this is not in use. Seems like they could put this to good use and bring people into the area.

We came to Oklahoma City for the Oklahoma Shoot Out Tournament. They use many fields all over the area for the tournament. We stayed in Bricktown because it seemed like a central location for all the fields. My GPS said it would take 16 minutes to get there from Bricktown. The Waze app said 30 minutes because of a wreck. Waze rerouted me down a lot of back roads to avoid the interstate that had the wreck on it. So it really seemed like we were out in the boonies. There is little parking. Many people were parking in fields and making their own parking lot. Then they charged $5 per person to get in the complex and a $5 cooler fee. They really nickel and dime you in Oklahoma. Our Texas tournaments do not charge entrance fees. Only the World Series charges gate fees. The complex was just finished in 2016, so it is sparkling new. It has turf in fields, which for my son he doesn't like because he hates to pitch on a portable mound. I'm sure the turf fields are convenient so they don't have to cancel many games because of rain. There is little shade. The only shade is over the bleachers. Even our boys dugout on field one wasn't covered. The other dugout was covered, but not our side. Really didn't make since, because it is a new field. There are NO trees as well, so when I say no shade, there is none.

Fields are great with turf infields. No outside food or drink (which is pretty standard). No seeds (which is not standard). Whole place is a money racket. Why do I have to pay $50 to forfeit when I already paid for the game? Plus parking is ridiculous with around 200 spots (maybe 300 with dirt overflow) for 8 fields. Minimum 10 players per team, 2 teams per field, 8 fields is 160 per game...twice that in between games is 320 cars, plus spectators. It's simple math folks. Oh, and they have been known to call the cops on people parked in the grass
