University of Oklahoma President David Boren will delay the football program's expansion and stadium renovation according to multiple sources. SoonerScoop.com has learned members of the administration were told of the plans to postpone construction on the first phase of a proposed $370 million renovation project to Oklahoma's Memorial Stadium and the Barry Switzer Center just last week. Those plans were relayed to contractors and architects earlier this week. Sources tell us the reasons behind the postponement are "market related." That has mostly to do with the current economic climate where oil prices have fallen drastically and stockpiles have built up to record highs in the U.S.

Sugar BowlAnother source told SoonerScoop.com that the current climate makes stadium expansion "unrealistic" at this point in time.

Expansion is stupid for anyone with a plus +80k stadium right now, unless they are adding MUCH better ammenities including alcohol, better parking, more club seats, etc. TV is changing everything, and there aren't going to be sold out stadiums of 100k+ much in the future unless something changes.

imho.
