The park features a long, handicap-accessible ramp to a point directly behind home plate. The first seven rows are reserved seating, stadium seats with backs, followed by a cross aisle and about ten rows of general admission seating (fewer behind home plate, where the press box gets in the way). I noticed that the first two rows of general admission seats have horrible sight lines thanks to rails on the cross aisle protecting the reserved seats. The field faces northeast and has fairly standard dimensions.

Out beyond left field is Cowgirl Stadium, home of the OSU softball team. The field is a block away from the football stadium.

The Cowboys were set to inaugurate a new on-campus facility, O’Brate Stadium, to replace Reynolds Stadium in March 2020, but the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the season two weeks before the scheduled opener. The team has used the facility for intrasquad workouts since, and Cowboy baseball moves to the new stadium in 2021.
