The admission is free and it's three floors filled with University of Oklahoma football history! If you're a Sooner fan, you can't go wrong with a visit to this place. Get a parking pass at the visitors center on Parrington Oval and spend some time walking around campus afterward your visit soaking in the atmosphere. The Campus Corner area on Boyd Street is also a nearby must see!
But be sure to check the days and hours of operation very carefully. I have stopped by a number of times when I assumed it would be open only to find it closed. It has unusual days and hours of operation. It's really cool the few times I have made it inside, though! I wish they would make it more readily accessible.
You'll find out a lot about the traditions and sports figures at the University of Oklahoma. Great place to visit.
Step back in time with a huge collection of Sooner photos and memorabilia. Brings back memories of the Selmon Brothers, Joe Washington, Steve Owens and the many great players that were students years ago. A powerful jolt down memory lane reminds you of recent National Championships and bowl games!
Lucky enough to get a tour when it was not busy and if you are a Sooner fan there is nothing like it!
First, check the OU Athletics Department's official site at SoonerSports.com for hours of operation (http://www.soonersports.com/facilities/legends-lobby.html). The Switzer Center is closed on football game days so that the coaches can take recruits through. The memorabila, videos and photos are incredible and this is truly heaven for any Sooner fan (or college football fan for that matter). Parking is available in the parking deck on the west side of the stadium (Switzer Center is located on the SE corner). You can walk through the south end zone of the stadium during the day (follow the students).
If you want to know the history of OKLAHOMA FB, take this tour ..... you won't be disappointed! Fortunately we were guided by none other than Coach Merv Johnson who is Mr. History.
This was great for the Sooner diehards that we are! Made extra special by the fact that Coach Merv Johnson was our tour guide. This place is just great to see all the Sooner trophies and other memories. A must see!!
Great place to check out the history of OU football. Biographies of the greats that have graced the field beyond its walls. Tons of memorabilia, championship trophies, bowl trophies, Heisman trophies, etc.
