Day 101—Tulsa Drillers


Friday night The Tour for the Cure headed up the road to Tulsa to Drillers Stadium to see none other than the Tulsa Drillers. The ballpark holds almost 11,000 people, making it the largest ballpark in Double-A baseball. Originally the park started out as a multi-purpose facility that seated just 4,800 but over time the turf was replaced with natural grass and more seating was added. What is most interesting about the seating is that most of it is on the second level, making the upper tier the grandstand area with tons of bleachers.

Speaking of the upper seating area, that’s were I spent most of the night selling raffle tickets to various Drillers fans. Thanks to all the generous fans who helped contribute to the raffle and also a special thanks to Brian for helping me out throughout the night. The winners of the raffle ended up being huge Red Sox fans, quite appropriate for the Jimmy Fund.
