Top 20 college football stadiums you must see in your lifetime
15. Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium
School: Oklahoma
Location: Norman, Okla.
Capacity: 86,112
Oklahoma Memorial Stadium is home to one of the absolute greatest college football programs all-time in the Oklahoma Sooners. You cannot doubt the greatness that has gone through Norman from the Barry Switzer days all the way up to now with current head coach Bob Stoops. OU fans live and die for their Sooner football.
The university has already put in the place the construction to expand Oklahoma Memorial to a capacity larger than 90,000. Yet, the stadium ended the 2016 season with a capacity of 86,112. The thought of more Sooner fans shaking the stadium in Norman with even more noise should frighten Big 12 opponents playing there.
Oklahoma Memorial is a great site for Sooner fans, and just college football fans in general (outside of those that wear orange), on the edge of the OU campus. The outside of the stadium seems to tower all the way to the sky when you look up and see the letters “Oklahoma Memorial” etched in the stone of the upper stadium walls.
The three sides of the stadium that close off Oklahoma Memorial are built around the large and iconic OU scoreboard that will soon become even bigger in the South Endzone after renovations are complete.
