NORMAN
GAMEDAY
GUIDE
A new Standard has been set for your gameday.
This isn't a tourist map; this is your guide to experiencing a Saturday in Norman like a true local.
THE PRE-GAME RITUAL: Campus Corner
For generations, the heart of the gameday experience has been Campus Corner. It's where you go to feel the buzz, grab a bite, and get ready for the game.
The Legendary Staple: The Mont
An absolute Norman institution. For decades, The Mont has been the go-to spot for students and alumni. Get there early to grab a spot on their famous patio and order their iconic drink, the "Sooner Swirl." It's a non-negotiable part of the authentic gameday experience.
The Classic Burger Joint: The Library Bar & Grill
Don't let the name fool you. The only thing you'll be studying here is the menu. The Library is a classic, no-frills Campus Corner bar famous for its delicious burgers and laid-back atmosphere. It's a perfect place to fuel up before kickoff.
The Modern Vibe: O'Connell's Irish Pub & Grille
A slightly more modern but equally beloved spot. O'Connell's is a classic Irish pub that's always packed on gamedays, known for its great food, lively crowd, and being a central hub of the Campus Corner energy.
THE INSIDER'S PLAYBOOK: Pro Tips
A few key pieces of advice that will make your experience smoother and more authentic.
Parking Pro-Tip: Do not try to park close to the stadium unless you have a pre-paid pass. The best local strategy is to find paid parking in the neighborhoods south of Lindsey Street or east of the campus. It's a slightly longer walk, but it's cheaper, and you'll avoid the worst of the post-game traffic gridlock.
The Walk of Champions: This is a must-see. About two hours and fifteen minutes before kickoff, the team buses arrive at the corner of Lindsey and Jenkins. Join the massive crowd to cheer on the players and coaches as they make their traditional walk through the sea of fans into the stadium.
The Unspoken Rule: When the Pride of Oklahoma marching band plays the OU Chant, you are expected to participate. The key is the hand signal: you hold up one finger for "O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A." It's a simple but powerful sign of unity that every fan in the stadium shares.
THE POST-GAME BUZZ: The Celebration
The game is over, but the night isn't. Here's where to go to celebrate a win.
For the Victory Party: Logie's on the Corner
A massive, multi-level bar right in the heart of Campus Corner. After a big win, this is where the celebration happens. It's loud, it's crowded, and it's the perfect place to soak in the victory with thousands of your fellow fans.
For the Late-Night Slice: Hideaway Pizza
An Oklahoma original and a post-game tradition. After the bars, head to Hideaway for some of the best pizza in the state. It's the perfect way to refuel and rehash the game's biggest plays.
