Carroll Gribble Field - "The Grib"
"The Grib" is the on-campus home to the Oklahoma Panhandle State University baseball program. Located in the shadow of OPSU's iconic water tower, the field sits on the far west side of the Goodwell, Oklahoma campus. Gribble Field features spacious dugouts, a recently-installed "batter's eye" and scoreboard, and a padded backstop.
In April 2021, OPSU's baseball field received its forever name. Carroll Gribble Field ("The Grib") was named after OPSU Athletics Hall of Fame Class of 2019 inductee Carroll Gribble. Gribble was a four-year letterman in both football and baseball from 1950-1954. Fourteen years after his playing days with the Aggies, Gribble returned to campus as an assistant football coach (1968-1979) and head baseball coach (1972-1979). Even after stepping away from coaching, Gribble became the school's Dean of Students where he continued to positively impact thousands of lives.
An elevated press box accommodates the sound system, scoreboard controls, video streaming equipment and more, all in place to enhance the game day experience. Equipment storage is located below the press box, with restroom facilities just steps beyond the left-field line. There is comfortable seating for 200 behind home plate and plenty of space for picnic-style viewing down each foul line.
Located adjacent to the home dugout is the Aggies' comfortable clubhouse and indoor batting cage. The OPSU clubhouse features individual player lockers, a ping-pong table, lounge area and stereo system, as well as laundry facilities and coaches' offices.
The batting cage has two separate hitting areas within the building, each surrounded by protective netting. Additionally, an outdoor batting cage is situated between the softball and baseball fields at the complex.
