”This is way more than just what happens inside the stadium.” Last fall, community leaders traveled to Fayetteville, Tuscaloosa and Lexington to compare infrastructure, amenities and game-day experiences as Norman and the #Sooners gears up for the SEC:

Odd choices

It seems they enjoy their trips to Fayetteville.

Kind of a weird article. Makes it seem like they are moving to a different country.
I've always perceived OU fans (at least E. Oklahoman trashy people) as arrogant. It's kinda funny to read their people talk about how much better things are in SEC towns.

Their first priority should be finding a new football coach.

They wanted an SEC gameday experience lookin and they skipped Georgia, Auburn and LSU? For Arkansas and kentucky?
What a bunch of idiots.

From what I've heard on some of the local sports talk stations they have more trips planned to other SEC towns.
God forbid the people in Norman want to invest to elevate the amenities for SEC fans giving everyone a accommodating memorable experience when they come visit for games.

At least they are trying. They should visit Auburn, LSU and Florida this year.

Reading the article completely it appears the University and Norman have a long way to go to catch up.

That is a GREAT article to read! I learned quite a bit about Fayetteville, AR, Tuscaloosa, AL, and Lexington, KY, that I hadn't come across before.
Oklahoma's a great state....I love it and it's people. Norman's going to be a huge "must go to" game on every SEC fan's agenda.
Thanks for posting this.

Been telling y'all for a decade. Big 12 gamedays suck. OU is far and away the best in the Big 12, and even they are in awe of an SEC game experience.

At first I was wondering why those 3 places, but it kind of makes sense. The crowd in Norman has more in common with Kentucky and Arkansas. And they checked out Alabama as a “goal” as far as what a top tier winning program offers.
A trip to LSU or Florida to see how wild and crazy the party can be is pointless for them because that’s not the type of fans they have.

That's a good read tkeefer.
I've been to a lot of games in a lot of places, while following the Gamecocks over the years (including Nebraska). Oklahoma's place has always been on my bucket list.
Shane Beamer has had a lot of good things to say about his time there.
Spencer Rattler has publicly stated that SC has better facilities ... he didn't say it in a mean or disgruntled fashion.
I'm almost certain that the big tight end who returned to be with his girlfriend has already told his buddies the same.
I really liked the atmosphere at Nebraska but ... it was laid back compared to most SEC stadiums.
I've been to quite a few games at Texas, theirs (and A&M's) facilities are second to none.
I have zero doubt that being members of the SEC is going-to raise the bar, in terms of overall intensity, in both Austin and Norman.
In the B12 there are a handful of places that might be comparable-to every stadium experience in the SEC with the exception of Vandy (football) which is our Duke, Northwestern, Stanford member.
Every place is unique in the SEC, every place has their own special traditions, from cowbells to Cockabooses and Sir Spur, from Rocky Top to War Eagle, from Gator Chomp to Mike to Roll Tide to Uga.
I'm looking forward to seeing Boomer Sooner.

The assessment of Tuscaloosa is spot on. The in-stadium experience is mediocre. The screen situation in the stadium is just bad.

We like boiled peanuts. Get on it OU.

Oklahoma is wayyyyy behind the SEC schools in facilities.
