America's 50 Most Legendary Stadiums In Every State

36. Oklahoma – Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium (Capacity: 86,112)

Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman is the proud stronghold of the Oklahoma Sooners. Founded in 1923, it has grown into a mammoth 86,112-seat venue renowned for its raucous game-day environment. The stadium is named for both the university’s fallen servicemen (Memorial) and the Gaylord family, major benefactors to OU athletics. A horseshoe configuration encircles Owen Field, where the famed Sooner Schooner—a replica Conestoga wagon—rolls out after every touchdown to roaring cheers. Pre-game festivities include the Walk of Champions, as players make their way through thousands of chanting fans. Over the years, expansions added a towering south end zone, modern suite levels, and vast updates to concessions. This invests the stadium with both top-tier amenities and a powerful sense of tradition. From the “Boomer Sooner” fight song to the swirl of crimson and cream, Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium brims with the spirit of a program boasting multiple national titles.
