I went to the Mizzou game in Norman last month and was surprised how small it felt

---

Go to a Mizzou game in Columbia.

OU hit official high of 85k. Largest crowds were against TCU and Ohio State at over 88,000. Due to remodeling, required to put in handrails-cut out 2 seats from each row, Put in club seats, to replace bleachers, in south end with lots of leg room and free food. All that cut it to 82k. West side remodel will remove bleachers in favor of club seats. The club seats require a capital donation of at least $5k plus an annual donation of $2k for the south. Won't be surprised if the west side will be lot higher. The donations are in addition to ticket prices. Every OU season ticket holder must pay a donation.

The OU stadium has chairs in upper east side deck, most of south end zone and will have chairs on majority of west side including west upper deck.
I read somewhere that OU and Texas have highest ticket prices/donation requirements in the SEC. With the west side remodel, OU may run at top of the league. The AD believes that OU will bring in more revenue with a smaller stadium. Many, including me believe it is a mistake.

You SEC hillbillies are standing in bleachers all over, aren't you. Like me in the north OU end zone.

OU kicked arse at Wake Forest, 86-68. Try to keep up!

Serious follow up question... Do you have to pay admission to the Texas State Fair AND buy a ticket for the game, or does your game ticket include admission to the fair?

---

Your game ticket gets you onto the Fairgrounds. Parking is extra.

I have stayed in Plano, Rowlett, Garland, McKinney at the nicer chain hotels.
I try to get to Fairgrounds to see the bands march to the stadium. Best years is when the OU Pride is first in line and as they pass by, the OU fans move onto the street right behind the Pride, chanting Boomer Sooner Texas Sucks and follow our band to the stadium which forces the Whorn Band to stop and wait.

Michigan is a better win than San Jose St.

True. Texas proud of its QUALITY LOSS to Ohio State.

I only recall Kansas one time and Oklahoma State maybe half the time they beat OU but that wasn't too many times.

91-20-7

I suppose they even stormed the field for a tie.

Oklahoma: My target for this year - Sooners what say you? First timer this year.
Pros: available
Cons: No utilities - long walk

Walk is about 1.2 miles. Shuttle bus ride is popular at $5 round trip.

esterday, in Baton Rouge, Alex Box Stadium had over 12,000 fans for the 5th time this year. Maybe someone can get those 12k fans to blow bubbles, throw beer or even whistle to generate some noise & excitement down the road. They just sit on their collective hands way too much.
