Barry Switzer Center |
The Barry Switzer Center, the crown jewel
among the University of Oklahoma's athletics facilities,
was dedicated on April 24, 1999. The center was named
after OU's all-time winningest head football coach,
who led his Sooner teams to three national championships,
12 Big Eight Conference championships and eight bowl
wins in 13 appearances.
Construction Update
Due to construction in the south end zone, the Switzer Center and Legends Lobby are closed until further notice. |
Located at the south end of the Gaylord Family - Oklahoma
Memorial Stadium, the Switzer Center houses football
offices, the football locker room, equipment room,
the 13,000-square-foot Siegfried Strength and Conditioning
Complex, the 8,000-square-foot Freede Sports Medicine
Center and the 7,000-square-foot Touchdown Club Legends
Lobby.
Outside the building is the Anderson All-American
Plaza that serves the university as an outdoor site
for special events. The plaza's feature attraction
is a large wall honoring every OU All-American to wear
the crimson and cream. The name of every letterwinner
from each OU sport is also displayed.
The Legends Lobby underwent a $1 million dollar renovation
and reopened to the public on September 25, 2004.
