HOK has been designing baseball stadiums for twenty years, with its first stadium being Dunn Tire Park, in Buffalo NY. Also owned by Rich Baseball Operations, the Buffalo Bisons new baseball stadium in 1988 marked the beginning of the renaissance of Minor League Baseball as we know it. HOK also designed Camden Yards in Baltimore, Jacobs Field (now Progressive Field) in Cleveland, Coors Field in Denver, and many other modern major league ballparks across America. Besides Arvest Ballpark, HOK/Populous has designed spectacular minor league facilities in Memphis, Albuquerque, Lehigh Valley, and Clearwater, amongst others.
