In the shadow of Sooner football home games this season is renovation work going on at the south end of Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.
It is part of a $160 million stadium construction project, the first phase of which involves fully enclosing the south-end seating bowl, which will increase the stadium seating capacity to more than 84,000. Phase I also includes adding a pair of open-air fan plazas in the southwest and southeast sections of the end-zone area and expanding the concourse at the south end of the stadium.
You may have read or heard that stadium renovation work had stopped or slowed down.
