Gaylord
Family - Oklahoma Memorial Stadium is one of America's
most recognized college football cathedrals. Situated
on the east side of the Norman campus, this historical
facility is the largest sports arena in the state and
ranks among the 15 largest on-campus facilities in
the nation.
Memorial Stadium's rich heritage has not hindered its
evolution, a never-ending growth fueled by the football
program's overwhelming popularity. Almost since its
inception, the stadium has been a work in progress.

Stadium History |

In 1921, University of Oklahoma students started a
movement for construction of a student union. By 1925,
the idea had grown to include a combined football stadium/student
union. In the original architect's drawings, the north
end of the proposed structure was strikingly similar
to the present Oklahoma Memorial Union, which eventually
was constructed separately when head coach Bennie Owen
suggested it would be best to raise funds for a union
and a stadium.
The first game played at the site took place Oct. 20,1923
(a 63-7 win over Washington, Mo.), before the stadium/union
plan got under way. The field was named Owen Field
after Owen, who became a charter member of the National
Football Hall of Fame.
In 1925, the first contest was
played in front of the new stands on the west side
of the field. The 16,000-seat Oklahoma Memorial Stadium,
named in honor of University personnel who died in
World War I, was erected at a cost of approximately
$293,000.
Stands on the east side of the stadium were added prior
to the 1929 season. That addition increased the seating
capacity to 32,000, where it stood for 20 years. In
1949, OU president George L. Cross pushed for expansion
and the result was a six-foot lowering of the old playing
surface and the elimination of a running track that
surrounded the playing area. The changes produced 7,000
new ringside seats and brought capacity to 55,000.
The north end of the stadium also was enclosed. In
1957, green grandstand bleachers were added to the
south end of the field, enabling the stadium to hold
61,836 fans.
Eighteen years later came the addition of the upper
deck and new press box. Another 8,436 seats were added
at a cost of $5,726,345. Capacity for the 1975 National
Championship season was 71,187. Before the 1980 season,
the old green bleachers were replaced with the new
south end zone facility. In addition to improved seating,
the complex included coaches' offices, the weight room,
meeting rooms, a training room, the equipment room
and two locker rooms. The addition brought the stadium
capacity to 75,004. Capacity was decreased to 72,765
prior to the 1998 season to provide more wheelchair
seating.
In July, 1970 the original natural grass surface was
removed and artificial turf was installed. That tartan
turf was replaced with super turf before the 1981 season.
Owen Field returned to grass in 1994.
 |
Modern History |

A stadium master plan was approved by the OU Board
of Regents in June 1994. Construction of nine west
side suites began in April 1995 and was completed that
year. The suites are leased annually. Eight of the
suites seat 12 and the President's suite seats 24.
Subsequent improvements in 1997 included the installation of
stadium lights to allow night games, a new scoreboard
and a video screen.
The Barry Switzer Center, named after the former OU
head football coach, opened in April 1999. That complex
includes a sports medicine facility with the latest
equipment and technology to better accommodate OU's
student-athletes; the Robin Siegfried and Family Strength
and Conditioning Facility, which will accommodate more
than 400 athletes; new locker rooms; new coaches offices;
the Anderson All-American Plaza and the OU Touchdown
Club Legends Lobby.
In 2002,
OU enacted plans to upgrade the entire stadium through four phases. Phase I replaced all stadium seating; expanded and renovated the north end athletics offices and Prentice Gautt Academic Center; expanded the stadium with the east side club, suites, and upper deck (total: $75 million).
Phase II included a second level of suites on the east side, renovation and expansion of the Santee Lounge and club seats;, fan amenities on the east concourse; and expansion and improvements to the team meeting rooms in the Switzer Center (total:$ 9 million).
Phase III included fan amenities on the west side, expansion and improvements to the coaches' offices and Legends Lobby of the Switzer Center (total: $12 million). All phases included improvements to disability accessibility to the stadium and support facilities.
For Phase IV, OU's football facilities -- especially those which the student-athletes use daily -- were further upgraded in 2009.
Improvements included a 9,000 square-foot football locker room including grooming areas, cold plunge hydrotherapy pools and players' lounge, a 10,000 square-foot athletic training space to include additional hydrotherapy for all teams, a 6,500 square-foot equipment room, a 4,000 square-foot team meeting room equipped with the latest technology, sound, and video equipment, and seating for more than 200 added to the more than 8,000 square feet of existing team meeting rooms.
Phase IV also included expansion of HD and other technology-driven enhancements to the SoonerVision studio and production facilities. The final phase of the stadium project totaled $15 million, bringing the total for all improvements to the stadium and its support areas to more than $125 million since 1998.

Parking
Information |
OU Football Parking Map (PDF) | Public parking is limited on the main campus on
game days. Fans are encouraged to arrive early. Spaces
are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
It is recommended that fans utilize one of the three
shuttle systems available.
Limited parking that once existed on Brooks St.
(north of the stadium) is no longer available and
that street has been closed. Patrons are reminded to
avoid parking in yellow-curbed areas, fire lanes and
grass areas. Vehicles parked in those areas may be
towed.
Free parking is available at the Lloyd Noble Center
located approximately one mile south of the stadium.
A shuttle is provided for $2 round trip and unloads
one block south of the stadium on First Street. The
shuttle provides return trips for one hour after the
conclusion of the game.
Traffic Flow
Four hours prior to kickoff there will be three street closures adjacent to the stadium. Lindsey St., which runs east and west along the southern edge of the stadium will close at Elm (west of the stadium) to just east of Jenkins Ave. Only those patrons with parking credentials for the Asp Avenue Parking Facility or the MP12 lot will be able to access Lindsey, and they must approach from the west.
Jenkins Ave. will be closed south of Page to all traffic except for those with a Field House parking pass and south to Farmers Street.
Brooks will be closed from Jenkins to Trout to all traffic but those with a parking pass for the Brooks Lot, Monnett Lot, Duck Pond Lot or East Side Stadium Suites Lot.
