Good news, KFOR reported: Organizers say Oklahoma City Spark’s inaugural season will launch in June of 2023. The team is expected to play at ASA Hall of Fame Stadium.

They are going to have the nicest stadium of any team.

You bet. Much will depend on the ticket sales. As to whether they will need the outfield bleachers, who knows what the configuration
will be.

2023 - Thursday, June 1, is the opening of the Women's College World Series with the Championship - Thursday/Friday, June 8/9.

WPF will be headquartered in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, with teams playing nationwide. The league is aiming for six to eight teams for its inaugural season.

BTW OKC has a women’s football team that won a championship in their league! Who knew?! I remember the OKC Dolls football team back in the day.

They are going to have the nicest stadium of any team.

The Spark has said they have not decided where to play at this point, but hopefully it will be at HOF Stadium.

The name reminds me of the Los Angeles Sparks, I am not a fan of the name

It was a Chevrolet "Spark" that was the vehicle carrying the six Tishomingo high school girls that was involved in the fatal wreck with a Peterbilt tractor-trailer back in March 2022.

I thought this thread was going to be about the new NAHL team we’re getting.

But the NAHL isn't professional level, just Tier-II junior.

Jocelyn Alo Traded to OKC Spark

Oklahoma City, OK — Smash It Sports Viper’s outfielder Jocelyn Alo is headed to OKC Spark in exchange for draft picks and cash considerations.

Alo was drafted number one overall in the 2022 WPF exhibition season by the Vipers, following her record-breaking career at the University of Oklahoma.

In her professional debut, Alo hit .373, with three home runs, a .427 on base percentage and .608 slugging percentage.

The OKC Spark are set to take the field in June 2023, WPF’s first official season.

I am intrigued !

Softball has been more and more entertaining at the college level so let s see at the pro level.

Game must be two hours at the most, also a good point in my book.

Lightning would have been a better name to go along with our Thunder.

I love college softball. I make almost every Sooners home game, regional games if they're in Norman and WCWS Sooners games. I'm going to go watch a number of these pro games. I hope they're as fun as college.
