A new softball complex being built on the east edge of Edmond, Okla., will feature a Mother Road theme, reported The Oklahoman newspaper.
The $5.7 million project for four softball diamonds broke ground Wednesday.
The complex entrance will be four miles east of Interstate 35 on Second Street. The concessions and restrooms will have a Route 66 theme, similar to that of Pop’s Restaurant, which is about a half-mile farther east.
Construction is expected to start next week and last for about a year.
The money comes from a sales tax for capital improvements approved by voters in 2000.
An artist’s rendering of the restrooms and concession areas can be seen here. And, yes, it does look like the cantilevered canopy and main building that is Pops.
