It was a beautiful, albeit windy day at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. The winds didn’t stop 75,000 Oklahoma Sooners fans from pouring into the stadium to take in Oklahoma’s spring game. The first spring game under new head coach Brent Venables.
There was a lot to take in. Venables addressed the crowd before the game, highlighting former players of the past. He spoke at halftime, honoring Oklahoma athletics and their accomplishments in the 2021-2022 seasons. Baker Mayfield was honored at halftime with the unveiling of his Heisman statue. Oh, and there was a football game amid it all.
The energy from the bus ride to the stadium from Lloyd Noble Center to waiting in line to get into the stadium, and the long walk to the upper deck was incredible. Fans of all ages were pumped to be back inside the friendly confines of Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.
This was a day for Oklahoma football. And the day delivered. Let’s take a look at how social media reacted to the festivities surrounding the spring game.
