OSU-Houston Gameday Tips

Where to park: Construction around campus leaves limited parking options. If you do not have Posse Club parking access, expect to pay at least $20 to park in the Boone Pickens Stadium area. Fans looking for free parking can park in downtown Stillwater and ride a free shuttle bus at Seventh Avenue and Lewis Street. The shuttle will run approximately every 15 minutes before the game starting three hours prior to kickoff and will run every 30 minutes after the game depending on traffic.

Posse parking lots will open at noon Saturday. There will be no access to Knoblock Street between Hall of Fame Avenue and McElroy Road on game days.

Boone Pickens Stadium policies: All persons are subject to search. Allowable bags, 8 inches by 11 inches, are subject to search. No pets or animals are allowed in the stadium except service animals for impaired or disabled guests. Spirit banners, flags, or signs considered to be improper will be removed and confiscated by game management. The use of poles to display these items is prohibited. The following items are not permitted: umbrellas, tobacco products, alcoholic beverages, car seats, baby strollers, artificial noisemakers, beach balls, explosives, firearms, food, beverage, ice chests, backpacks, video cameras, large lens cameras, tripods and monopods.

What to do outside of the stadium: The Made in Oklahoma vendors open at noon on the stadium's north side. At 2 p.m., the Hall of Fame Block Party opens on north side the stadium with carnival style concessions, plus free activities including carnival rides, inflatable games, airbrush face painting, temporary tattoos, and caricature drawings by Hunter Husky.

At 3:45 p.m., the Cowboys will walk from the Atherton Hotel and down Hester Street to Boone Pickens Stadium. At 4 p.m., following the walk, there will be a pep rally in the stadium's south parking lot and live music from the Turnpike Troubadours at the Hall of Fame Block Party.

What to do inside the stadium: Watch the Cowboys take on the Cougars. About five minutes before kickoff, the new team entrance video "We Like It Loud" will be played on the video board in the east end zone. There are concession stands on the stadium's north and south sides.

Stadium reminders: The gates open for suite holders at 4 p.m. and regular ticket holders at 4:30 p.m. Also, OSU is designated as a tobacco-free campus. Smoking and use of all tobacco products are prohibited. By MATT DOYLE, World sports writer
