Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium

Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium is a football venue on the campus of the University of Oklahoma in Norman with seating for more than 82,000 spectators. The structure rises in tiers around the playing field, with separate sections for press, hospitality and general admission areas.

The venue opened in 1923 as a memorial to university members who died in the First World War. It has undergone several expansions and renovations over the decades that increased the seating capacity considerably.

The stadium functions as the principal location for University of Oklahoma Sooners football games and large-scale university gatherings.

Access is through several entrance gates around the perimeter, with each section marked by letter or number designations. Parking is available near the grounds, and visitors should plan to arrive well before event start times.

The playing surface features red and white markings that match the Sooners team colors. On game days, tens of thousands of spectators in the stands create noise levels that carry across the entire campus.
