"I really think (the stadium renovation) generates excitement, and people show up," Mike Gumby

Gumby is clueless, people show up to watch a successful program. However my prediction is there will be no sell out this year. So by Gumby's comment he needs more renovation, oops I forgot they didn't invest it wisely and ALL construction has stopped

That's pretty cool that we played OU twice on Nov. 9, 1996. Good work on your facts, TW. The 46-26 game was on 10/24/98.

Snoop, if one of OSU's games falls one person short of a sellout because you aren't there, I'd be a happier fan for it. My prediction is that you are lonely, sad little boy. Go ride your tricycle.

snoop, you are clueless. When was the last time you have been to Stillwater? The stadium is continuing the interior construction as scheduled. What has been postponed is the Athletic Village. There is tons of construction going on all over OSU's campus and none of it has "stopped."

And yes, the new stadium generates BOAT LOADS of excitement. OSU now has the nicest stadium in the Big XII. That gets people excited to go see it and to watch a game there. The only thing that may prevent a technical "sell-out" is unsold expensive club seats, of which there are a few hundred still available on the ends...at least that is what it looks like from inside the stadium. People like snoop would never know this, however, because they don't go to games.

guys like snoop make up and say things like that to make them feel bigger and important. aww...poor little boy with low self esteem...
Snoop...NONE, 0.0%, of the construction has stopped. Everything that was under construction last week and last month is still going forward as scheduled. Plans that included construction that wasn't going to start untill next year are on hold right now, but far FAR from cancelled or stopped.

But other then that,

What a great venue!! it really is such an amazing turn around from when I was in school there and we had the rust-oleum bowl!! I'm willing to bet that this weeks crowd will beat last week and that the bedlam game will be packed! cant wait.

Snoop,
You are in the minority here. Why do such negative people write in? The Tahlequah Press shut down its reader forum due to one particular negative poster. (Check it out).
As for sports, I grew up in Oklahoma City and was trained to root for OU vs OSU. Now I have lived in Arizona for many years, and I root for ALL of the teams in Oklahoma. I am glad that the Cowboys are doing so well, and often wish I could be there. ESPECIALLY to see the new stadium! Cheer up, Snoop--life is short.

As a student who goes to the stillwater campus 3 times a week I assure you that they are still doing construction. Or was that cement truck I got stuck behind for 5 minutes this morning a figment of my imagination?

NNH-you are an idiot, nice does not bring in fans

I have seen the following players in person, Walt Garrison, Jim Traber, Mike Gundy (both as player and coach) Thurman Thomas and of course Barry Sanders, I would name others but you don't probably remember the likes of Reggie Richardson and Mel Canpbell. I watched games when there was a track around the football field, sat through the ice bowl. I was at the game when a DB nammed Krammer cost OSU a Big 8 title, do you remember the play if so please post it. I have watched the games form the suites to the wooden bleachers in the endzone, noone posting has been to Lewis Field/BPS more than I. The main difference is I refuse to drink the kool-aid, or listen to Gundy's political speak.

I know that a stadium does not bring in fans, a winning team does that. The stadium is great. Is it the best in the Big XII, no. I guess most have not been to Kyle Field or watched a stadium full of rabid Nebraska fans. How many years in a row have those been sold out???, We will not sell it out as a decision was made to have too many expensive seats. As we win this may change. Go to GIA what was once a total sell now has seats, it's a great arena, but it's know Allen Field house or Cameron.

Oh and Patrica no OSU loyal fans would ever cheer for OU, so you can blah,blah etc until your mouth is tired. And remember life is short, go see a game at BPS then and only then can you speak from experieence
