I have been a season ticket holder for over 30 years. Concession food has always been marginal as far back as I can remember but never good. You would think a place like the home of Oklahoma football would do something to make the fans proud. After all There is Only One Oklahoma! 👌 It is so bad this year that I am making sure I plan to not be hungry before I go to the game. THE FOOD IS JUST PLAIN BAD.

Concessions should be special at OU on game day. There should be some special items that reflect Oklahoma and all the food should be good to great.

Went to OU-Baylor during the COVID pandemic. OU did a fantastic job spacing seats. We were very comfortable with the crowd level at the game. Very enjoyable evening. Would have liked to see the OU band and all the pageantry of the typical game day experience, but happy to just get the chance to see any OU football during COVID.

This was my first visit to Oklahoma, so I particularly wanted to visit the Oklahoma University campus as I've been a college football fan all of my life. However, I was blown away by the beauty of the entire campus. It is one of the most beautiful college campuses I've been on. The striking red brick and Norman architecture is amazing. And the on-campus football stadium has a Heisman field with larger-than-life bronzes of each of the five Oklahoma Heisman Trophy winners.

My wife, who is not a big football fan, was grumbling a little bit about the detour. But she was as enthralled by the visit as I was because of the beauty of the place.

My wife and I went to the game versus the Tulsa Golden Hurricane on a beautiful day for football. For me, the game was like my mom and dad were fighting as I grew up a Sooners fan, but I graduated from Tulsa. You hate for either to lose. However, I had to go with my upbringing and hope that my alma mater would make the game competitive.

Like anyplace else, the closer you park, the earlier you should arrive and the more money you will pay. For us, we took the exit off of I-35 onto State Highway 9 East and followed it to Jenkins Avenue. On the NW corner of the intersection, there is Lloyd Noble Arena, and we parked in the parking lot for free. We walked to the stadium (around ¾ mile), but you can ride a bus to the stadium for $2. Since the game started at 11 AM, we arrived to park around 8 AM. Another benefit of arriving early is that you can walk around and take in the atmosphere and tradition.

Many people congregate at Campus Corner, which is located about 5 blocks to the north of the stadium. We didn’t do this, but I included the information in this review as it is a big part of the game day experience for many people.

On the east side of the stadium, on Jenkins Avenue, there is Heisman Park. You can view the larger than life statues of Oklahoma’s five Heisman trophy winners. There are statues of Billy Vessels (1952), Steve Owens (1969), Billy Sims (1978), Jason White (2003) and Sam Bradford (2008). Only Notre Dame, Ohio State and USC have more Heisman Winners than OU. South of Heisman Park, there are statues of Barry Switzer, Chuck Fairbanks and Bennie Owen (the namesake of “Owen Field”). North of Heisman Park, there is a parking lot with various vendor booths, as well as the Sooner Schooner. You can get your picture taken with Boomer and Sooner. To the south of the stadium, there is a plaza

You cannot enter the stadium until 90 minutes before game time (unless you have a club ticket). There is a Bank of Oklahoma ATM on the east side of the inside of the stadium. The holographic OU souvenir cup will cost $5. Most of the other concessions are standard fare, in price and selection, as compared to other stadiums and concert venues. Since you will sit on bleachers, you may wish to rent a stadium seat for $5. New security rules are in place, such that do not allow you to bring your own seat cushion. A game day program is $5.

Unless you are part of the tailgating, I would recommend getting into the stadium around 45 minutes prior to kickoff. You can see the end of warm ups by the players. The Pride of Oklahoma marching band will perform prior to the National Anthem and kickoff. At the end of the National Anthem, you will hear “For the land of the free and the home of the SOONERS!”. No disrespect intended – fans of the Sooners are red-blooded Americans. Right before kickoff, raise a hand in the air, extend your index finger, and join the tens of thousands of Sooners fans build to a crescendo of “O” until the ball is kicked. You are now part of one of the greatest traditions in college sports. BOOMER SOONER!!!

TIP: I recommend that you bring a small plastic bag to put your program in, or anything else that you do not want to get wet. If you set things down by where you are sitting, beer or pop will inevitably find their way to your items. This is a good idea for any game, concert, NASCAR race, or other large organized event.

If you know Oklahoma you know we love football. Especially the Oklahoma Sooners playing in the beautiful Owens Stadium. Right across from the iconic Campus Corner are lots of amazing restaurant, boutiques, banks and bars.

We traveled from Houston, TX for the Sooners vs Army game on 9/22/18. We were in Section 18, Row 63. Had a great view of the entire field. We were tightly packed in with 87,000 of our Sooner (and Army) friends - with very little leg room to speak of - but we spent a lot of time cheering our Sooners on! Everyone was friendly from the front gate attendants, the police officers, the food and drink vendors, the seat back people and the program people. Drinks were $5.00 each - soda, water, frozen lemonade - all $5. Game was exciting against Army. There were jumpers that parachuted into the stadium and a huge American Flag stretched across the field. A great place to spend a few bucks and support THE Oklahoma Sooners!
I parked at Lloyd Noble Center and took the shuttle to a spot a few blocks from the stadium. Cost of the shuttle was $5 for a round-trip ticket. However, after the game, the line for the shuttle was blocks long, so we walked the mile back to the car. Getting out of Lloyd Noble took around 40 minutes. Traffic was thick.

I am a season ticket holder. After the renovation I am glad to still have my original seats. To experience OU football in person is special. I do have a complaint. There is a roof top that doesn't allow for us to see the bottom of one of the nation's largest jumbo screens. Other than that, I love the stadium and its atmosphere.

Owen Field is a great place to view a sporting event especially football. Be mindful those most DSLRs aren't welcome and well as a full water bottle. You can bring in an empty water bottle and fill it at the stadium's water foundations. Also, yet stadium is dry and no beer or alcohol is sold. That being said this is an awesome place- Boomer!

I like the football stadium but recently the university has upped donor prices that are attached to season tickets and gradually being raised for the next three years as much as $1,000 per ticket for 2018; end zone not included. Plus, they have announced all season ticket holders must purchase bowl tickets or lose their season tickets for one year.
