Oklahoma Sooners Football Stadium and local information

Oklahoma Football at Gaylord Memorial Stadium in Norman, Oklahoma.

The Sooners play their home games at the Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. The stadium was formerly called Oklahoma Memorial Stadium but the administration decided to add 'Gaylord Family' to recognize the contributions made by Edward K. Gaylord and his family over the years (estimated at over US$50 million). The playing surface is called Owen Field after Bennie Owen, Oklahoma's coach from 1905 to 1926. The stadium was built in 1923 with an original capacity of 500. In 1925, 16,000 seats were added and 16,000 more seats were added in 1929 bringing the total capacity to 32,000. The stadium has had a natural grass playing surface for most of its existence. The only time it had an artificial turf was from 1970 to 1994. The stadium had a major renovation in 2003 when a new upper deck was added to the east side of the stadium, adding over 8,400 new seats. The current capacity is 82,112 which makes it the fifteenth largest college stadium in the U.S. and third largest in the Big 12 Conference.  - Source: Answers.com with Wikipedia
