Where are the Best Places to Sit at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium

The same is true for sections 104-106. These areas are around midfield, slightly elevated, and receive shade from the press box. On the other side of the field, sections 127-130 are elevated and close to midfield. Oklahoma Memorial Stadium also has three different types of club-level seating that offer great amenities.

Adjacent to the stadium is the Barry Switzer Center, which is where you’ll find the Legends Lobby, an homage to the history of Oklahoma football with old jerseys, murals, and trophies.
