In a press release, Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione indicated this move was being made to compete with the top tailgating atmospheres in the SEC. ‘

“We knew that when we entered the SEC, it would just mean more,” Castiglione said in a release. “More competition, more fierce rivalries, more opportunities to engage with our fans, and more ways to show our Sooner spirit. This year it means establishing a new tailgate tradition, taking the energy and excitement of game day to the Oval. The Oval provides a centralized space for our fans to celebrate their Sooner passion, marking the next chapter in a tailgating tradition that will grow stronger each season. We can’t wait to see how our fans will respond and show out for the Sooners.”

Per the release, Oklahoma will have a “managed drop-off process” for tailgating equipment beginning at 6 p.m. the day before home football games. Fans will be able to begin tailgating at 7 a.m. on game days.

Oklahoma’s first home game of the 2025 season is slated for Aug. 30 against Illinois State.
