Awesome!

I've been playing softball/kickball at this facility for around 8 years and through a handful of ownership/management groups.

This new group definitely is head and shoulders above the others. Already been seeing a lot of changes.

Article on KOCO news mentioned that they have plans for a facility to be located in Moore.

The article referenced:

Owners: Multimillion-dollar sportplex coming to Oklahoma City | Oklahoma City - OKC - KOCO.com (http://www.koco.com/news/owners-multimillion-dollar-sportplex-coming-to-oklahoma-city/27872678#!bPFvuH)

I spoke to one of the partners and they would like to go to Moore but don't have a specific location at this time.

It would be in the 2015/16 timeframe.
