Congrats to the Oklahoma City Thunder for their success, thanks in large part to general manager…read moreSam Presti. Presti, who won three NBA championships as an assistant GM with the San Antonio Spurs (2003, 2005, 2007), ultimately guided OKC to the 2025 NBA title. Presti was primarily responsible for drafting Kevin Durant (2007), Russell Westbrook and Serge Ibaka (2008), and James Harden (2009). That core tried to take the torch from San Antonio, but Tim Duncan, Gregg Popovich, and R.C. Buford weren't done yet (2014). Presti is also primarily responsible for drafting Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams in 2022, and making trades for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (2019), Cason Wallace (2023), and Alex Caruso (2024). To a certain extent, Presti created a Spurs 2.0 in OKC, with both teams being in similar markets and seeing similar sustained success in the Western Conference. OKC is currently in the midst of the 2026 Western Conference Finals against - surprise - the Spurs, with the victor likely to beat whoever comes out of the East (I predict the Knicks).

A typical sporting event means you have to shell out the money at the concession stand. A jumbo dog was $6.50 crazy and it just like a regular dog to me! Beer was $11.

I made it to my first ever College Football Playoff game here at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial…read moreStadium and it was a terrific experience! This past Friday night - 12/19/25, Norman, Oklahoma was the center of the college football universe as the Sooners hosted Alabama in the #8 vs. #9 game of the playoffs. I found my ticket on SeatGeek for $345 in Section 233, Row 24, Seat 6. This was the last row in the upper deck on the visiting side of the stands. It wasn't too high up (imo). I still had a bird's eye view of the action. I will say...for this impromptu playoff game that gets organized by a committee of football "experts" who's sole responsibility is to select the 12 most deserving football schools into the tournament, I immediately bought my ticket after the schedule was announced. Did I have FOMO anticipating ticket prices could skyrocket higher? YES. But being from Florida, I had to purchase airfare and a rental car ASAP, and it felt reassuring to lock in a ticket as well since there was no turning back, but my point is...prices actually significantly decreased throughout the week and a half leading up to the game. Now 24 hours prior to kickoff, my $345 seat was selling for $190. Oh well stuff like this occasionally happens, but...these college playoff games get scheduled so last minute during the holiday season that it's very possible fans may have alternative family plans, and I'd just suggest future playoff attendees being patient when searching for their tickets. I really liked Gaylord Family Stadium. It opened in 1923 and has a capacity of 80,000. But for a 102 year old stadium, it's in great shape and the energy for this playoff game had a fever pitch. Kickoff was 7pm (central time zone) and they allowed fans inside at 5pm. Outside the stadium, they had a "Party at the Palace" featuring food vendors, tailgates, fans taking photos, music and even four F-35 fighter jets flying over the festivities. ESPN's College Gameday crew had their pregame show live on campus. For parking, there was a garage connected to Gaylord Stadium. Other lots nearby charged $40. I arrived early and parked for free on a side street 1 mile away and walked to the game. I'd also like to point out that the entrance off West Lindsey Street is a worthwhile photo opportunity. This area has statues dedicated to famous Oklahoma coaches like Bob Stoops and Barry Switzer. From the coaches dedications area, if you walk to the righthand side of Gaylord Stadium, you'll find Heisman Row with even more statues of Sooners Heisman Trophy winners like Kyler Murray, Sam Bradford and Baker Mayfield. Viewing these historic shrines had me thinking how rich Oklahoma's football roots are. Another nice picture moment was in front of the end zone located beside the "Party at the Palace". Here they had large SOONERS letters to stand in front of for a fun family photo. My favorite moment of the game was Oklahoma's team introductions. It was a sight to see! They turned out the lights and the deejay pumped up the crowd. Then as Sooners players entered the field, an abundance of fireworks exploded from both end zones and from behind Oklahoma's home stands. It was thrilling. I had goosebumps and couldn't believe the abundance of fireworks like a pinnacle July 4th moment. I'll post a quick video of it along with this review. It was the highlight of my night, lol. The Pride of Oklahoma Band was outstanding as well and put on an entertaining halftime performance. Also during halftime, an exciting drone light show showcased everything associated with Oklahoma football including a Boomer Sooner formation, an OU sign formation and a horse and carriage formation, to name a few. At the end of the 3rd quarter, there was a performance by the rapper, 50 Cent, while more fireworks lit up the night's sky. It was an energetic way to begin the 4th quarter. Not sure if 50 Cent will return in the future, lol, but him showing up was memorable. Overall, the football game was competitive. Oklahoma jumped out to a 17 - 0 lead. Alabama tied it at 17 - 17 by halftime. Unfortunately Alabama pulled away in the 2nd half to win 34 - 24 and fellow fans I sat next to and got to know a little about unfortunately went home unhappy. I felt bad because they were nice people and it was easy to recognize how passionate they were about their Sooners. Still, for just being a neutral fan of college football, I got to live out a dream attending my first ever CFP game, regardless of the outcome. I traveled halfway across the country to experience it all and for that, I am grateful. Thank you for having me Oklahoma, and Boomer Sooner!

The Oklahoma Sooners are one of college football's most successful programs. The Sooners have won…read moreseven national championships, all of which are recognized by the NCAA and all of which were won after the poll era began in 1936. At the time of writing this review, Oklahoma has the ninth-most titles all-time. Among current Big 12 teams, they're No. 1. OU won the national championship in 1950, 1955, 1956, 1974, 1975, 1985, and 2000. Three coaches were responsible for those seven titles: Bud Wilkinson (first three), Barry Switzer (second three), and Bob Stoops (the last one in 2000). Wilkinson and Switzer both repeated with Wilkinson winning back-to-back championships in 1955 and 1956 and Switzer winning back-to-back championships in 1974 and 1975. Combined, the trio were responsible for a staggering 36 conference championships (Wilkinson 14, Switzer 12, Stoops 10). From 1953 to 1957, Oklahoma won 47 consecutive games under Wilkinson. That 47-game win streak still stands as an NCAA record among Division I FBS teams. Wilkinson also had a very impressive bowl record of 5-2. Impressive because all seven bowl games he coached were either the Orange Bowl or the Sugar Bowl, both officially classified today as New Year's Six bowls (top-tier). Back then, in the 1940s to 1960s, it was much harder for a team to qualify for a bowl game because significantly less bowl games existed. Only the best of the best college football teams had the opportunity to play in bowl games. To NFL fans, Switzer is known for coaching the Dallas Cowboys and winning Super Bowl XXX in 1996. However, he had even greater success on the college level. Before becoming head coach for the Sooners in 1973, Switzer served as the team's offensive coordinator for seven years. Switzer has become synonymous with the wishbone offense which was highly-effective under his command. Switzer, Jimmy Johnson (Miami FL / Cowboys), and Pete Carroll (USC / Seattle Seahawks) are the only coaches to win both a college national championship and an NFL Super Bowl. Elite company. Stoops' title was won during the BCS era. Stoops' 2000 OU team went a perfect 13-0 overall and 8-0 in the Big 12. They defeated BCS No. 2 Florida State in the 2001 Orange Bowl to win the BCS National Championship for the 2000 season. For a time, Stoops was the highest-paid head coach in college football (only to be eclipsed by Nick Saban). In 17 seasons at Oklahoma (1999-2016), Stoops never missed the postseason. He is the only coach to have won all four BCS bowl games: Fiesta, Orange, Rose, and Sugar. Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium at Owen Field has a seating capacity of 80,126. Also known as "The Palace on the Prairie," it's the second-biggest stadium in the Big 12.

As a young boy my father owned a semi-professional football team that played here (No humble brag here- it was a team that once spray painted their helmets when the other team needed a few of their players to make it an even game. They were lovable and lowly.) And I ran all over this stadium. It seemed like a lost gladiator palace and the bathrooms were not nearly as nice as Rome. Now I take my children to these games and continue to be amazed at all the changes. They have a great family atmosphere. Which is not easy to do given the size of the place and crowds mixed with the healthy beer sales. We loved every minute of the season. The food options were excellent. Multiple trucks were brought in and the concession stand options were above average and priced right. For all those that have suffered through some summer baseball games minor league sports in the hot months can be brutal. But seats on the west side of the stadium are always shaded for games and it was not unusual to see coats in July. The players seem impressed with the field and surroundings and continually remark about the confines. This is high praise form professional athletes who have see the highs and lows of their sports. I can't wait for next season and encourage everyone to make it our for a few games at least.

Of course this one has Cattleman's Steakhouse but that is more for tourists than good dining. The main street of the Stockyards has a bunch of cool touristy stuff that you might want to check out when you're visiting Oklahoma City. I think the Fort Worth Stockyards have more going on but these are pretty cool to visit too and apparently they are larger. And apparently your boyfriend is larger? I'll believe it when I see it.
