Notes: Nestled in the northwestern corner of the Tulsa State Fairgrounds, it opened as Robert B. Sutton Stadium. Named for its patron, a local oilman, it replaced the nearby wooden Oiler Stadium. Sutton financed the construction after attempts at public funding failed. For the 1982 season the facility was renamed Tulsa County Stadium, when Sutton's business encountered legal and financial difficulties. It was dubbed Drillers Stadium in 1989 after the primary tenants. The original artificial turf was replaced natural surface in 1993. The team moved into a new downtown stadium for the 2010 leaving future of Drillers Stadium uncertain.
