OU football: Fans split going to games even with reduced capacity

NORMAN — Greg Immel has been sitting in the same spot for OU football games for 45 years — back row in the north end zone.

“Some people would say they’re not the best, but I wouldn’t trade my seats for anything,” he said. “I can stand up, lean against the wall.”

But Immel, who has been to all but three Sooners home games since 1975 and road games when he can pull off the trip, won’t be at Gaylord Family — Oklahoma Memorial Stadium this season.

Wednesday, OU announced it planned on allowing fans at 25 percent of capacity and gave ticket holders the option to opt in to attend games this season — if capacity allows — or push back their purchase to next season.
