Oklahoma on Friday finally released renderings of the upcoming renovations coming to the west side of Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, but the announcement was not as well-received as OU would have probably liked.
Sooner Nation was immediately frustrated by one key note from the plans: the renovations will erase 7,000 seats to basically make way for more suites, loge boxes and club seats. That would put the capacity of Memorial Stadium at 79,112, which would be the 11th-largest in the SEC.
According to OU's press release, the next set of renovations are scheduled to start after the 2027 football season and are expected to be completed by the start of the 2029 season.
