The Big 12 Conference and the Oklahoma City All Sports Association have announced that the Big 12 Softball Championship will be reinstated and coming back to Oklahoma City beginning with the 2017 season. Last held in 2010, the championship is scheduled to return in a two-day event, Friday, May 12 – Saturday, May 13, 2017, and will be hosted at the ASA Hall of Fame Stadium Complex, home to previous Big 12 Championships and the NCAA Women’s College World Series.
“We are excited to welcome back the Big 12 Softball Championship to Oklahoma City, said All Sports Executive Director, Tim Brassfield. The Big 12 Softball Championship has had a long 15-year history here and we are thankful to the Big 12 Conference for bringing the event back to the ‘home’ of college softball.”
With the reinstatement of the Big 12 Softball Championship, it further demonstrates and solidifies Oklahoma City as ‘the’ major market of college softball. In May 2017, Oklahoma City will play host to the Big 12 Softball Championship, NCAA DIII Softball National Championship, along with the NCAA Women’s College World Series.
Oklahoma City and the Oklahoma City All Sports Association will now serve as host to three Big 12 Championships; Phillips 66 Big 12 Women’s Basketball Championship through the 2019 season, the Phillips 66 Big 12 Baseball Championship through 2020, and the Big 12 Softball Championship starting in 2017.
