Oklahoma Sooners reveal a new project that makes future Saturdays in Norman a bit underwhelming
The Sooners are adding on to their current football stadium.
The Oklahoma Sooners have been teasing a new project for Gaylord Family – Oklahoma Memorial Stadium for some time now. Fans, media members, and others have asked for upgrades to the stadium for some time now, as it’s extremely old and kind of small compared to other SEC schools.
The Sooners revealed they are doing a project to the West Side of the stadium. Those renderings were released on Friday, and man it looks beautiful. There is only one issue, the project is set to remove seven thousand seats.
Brent Venables and Joe Castiglione talk project
“It’s difficult to adequately express how excited our football program is for the Gaylord Family – Oklahoma Memorial Stadium west side project, and I’m sure Sooner Nation is equally ecstatic. We are already blessed with one of the greatest venues in the sport, but this game-changing transformation will give new meaning to ‘The Palace on the Prairie’ The renderings are stunning, and, once completed, this project will positively impact everyone who steps foot in the stadium. A huge thank-you to all who have supported or will support this project, financially or otherwise. Our football program is incredibly appreciative.”
Athletic Director Joe Castiglione also offered some words regarding the new project.
“We’re incredibly grateful for the support of President Harroz, the Board of Regents and our generous donors as we take a monumental step forward for Oklahoma Athletics. The Palace Project is transformational in every sense for everyone – not just in how it will elevate our facility, but in how it will enhance the experience for our student-athletes, coaches, and fans. This project – the largest in OU Athletics history – reflects our ongoing commitment to providing championship-level resources for our program to compete at the highest level, while honoring the deep tradition and pride that define Oklahoma. We’re experiencing tremendous momentum, and this investment ensures we continue building on that foundation for years to come.
The project includes 47 suites; 64 loge boxes with seating for 280 persons; approximately 4,000 new club seats; and six club/lounge spaces for patrons.
