Over the last few weeks a number of announcements have altered our schedule for the 2020 season. As referenced in Vice President and Athletics Director Joe Castiglione's statement today, we will continue preparations for the fall season.
We continue to work closely with the top medical experts to ensure we are making decisions that are in the best interest of our student-athletes, stakeholders and university. While much discussion is still taking place, we have prepared various plans to accommodate reduced seating capacity at Gaylord Family - Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. As of today, we anticipate the seating capacity of the stadium to be 30% or less. Please note, seating capacities are subject to change.
Below you will find additional information to gain a better understanding how we will proceed in the 2020 season. Please review the following information to learn more regarding your 2020 ticket allotment and what steps we will take to accommodate fans unable to attend this season.
How Tickets & New Seating Locations Will Be Determined
These are unprecedented circumstances and we understand the uneasiness that you may feel not being in your normal seat location for the 2020 season. However, it is important to us that you know these decisions are centered around safety and fairness. The process for awarding seats in non-suite and loge box areas will be determined as follows:

However, it is important to us that you know these decisions are centered around safety and fairness. The process for awarding seats in non-suite and loge box areas will be determined as follows:
- Seating will be staggered throughout sections at 30% or less to allow fans to distance themselves from other patrons. The seating groups will be in groups of 2, 3, and 4.
- Sooner Club members in each section will be ranked in priority order by Sooner Points.
- Seats will be allocated in the same per seat donation area when possible.
- For those who do not qualify for the same per seat donation area, we will look for the closest section to your original seating location to allocate your seats.
- If you are relocated to another per seat donation area, additional information will be communicated to you later this fall providing an opportunity to reallocate your unused funds.
- Suites and loge boxes will not be included in this reduction of seating and will remain at normal capacity due to being individual units with limited exposure to other groups.

Red River Showdown Tickets
OU Athletics is actively working with the University of Texas, State Fair of Texas, and Texas state officials to determine what seating capacity changes will be made for this year’s game. Payments for those who received deferred payment options for the game were originally scheduled to be charged on August 1; however, we will delay charging these credit cards until final decisions have been made.
Once finalized plans have been made, we will recalculate membership levels and Championship Points to include any new contributions made, including those designated to the Sooner Relief Fund, prior to allocating tickets.
We sincerely appreciate your flexibility and understanding of the recent adjustments made to the 2020 season. We realize each decision made has a direct impact on you, but we remain confident we will navigate these unprecedented times together.
