Why are the Sooners playing Texas Tech at Chesapeake Energy Arena? It's an OU 'experiment'

OU men’s basketball is playing at Chesapeake Energy Arena for the second time this season Tuesday, but this time it will be playing a Big 12 game there.

The game counts as a home date, not a neutral site matchup. It’s part of the season ticket package, and students get in for free — OU is even offering a free shuttle for students to make it easier to get from Norman to Oklahoma City.

Playing the game at the ‘Peake is just one more in a string of efforts OU is making to get more fans to games.
