NORMAN—The capacity of Gaylord Family—Oklahoma Memorial Stadium will drop by approximately 3,000 next season as part of a project to add handrails, widen aisles and standardize seat width, the school announced Tuesday.
The stadium will also feature greatly enhanced Wi-Fi coverage.
The seating change was planned from the start when the plan to enhance team facilities and bowl in the south end of the stadium was announced.
“The changes we are making give us a more accessible stadium while also helping us provide greater accommodation for everyone,” Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione said in a release.
