NRG Arena/Stadium

[MdSooner#1]

I have to be the dumbest person alive. I am sitting in section 511 for Saturday and Monday. Can someone post a link of where my seats are? Seats 3 and 4


I can't find them.

Thank you for any help

Well, you're up pretty high on the west side. Not the highest nose bleed, just below that.
Looking straight down you'll be lined up with the north basket. Not too bad really.

That you get to go at all makes me and some others green with envy.

Hope you enjoy yourself.
Bring back an OU natty title! Plz!

(BTW, you are the second dumbest person alive...I can't post a link)

Thanks SS...again, a good friend bails me out.

Muchas gracias.

I think the "511" in the section number is the Above Sea Level designation.

Oh, one more thing MD...you might consider taking some high end opera glasses...just kidding. You'll be fine.

Actually, the claim to fame of the Texan fans in Houston is that their video screen is about 2 sq ft larger than Cowboy Stadium.

Oh... and not to be outdone, Aggie is (or has) built the 'largest' video screen for any stadium in Texas. Yes folks it's the great video screen race.

Oh gosh, in the grand scheme of things, that's really trivial and pathetic.
Seriously.

I didn't understand this and still don't to this day:




We demolished the south end zone and threw away the big screen board located there.

WHY????????


couldn't we have moved it to the north end zone? or at least donated the screen to some high school? or sell it cheap?

Well, that is the 'new think' these days...if it makes total sense and benefits someone that can't afford it, it's not worth a damn!

I don't get it either.
Everyone is pimping recycling to the nth degree, yet they destroy things that still have some intrinsic value to someone.
Just nuts.

I have football tickets level 5, 1st row 25 yard line. Good view. Anybody that has sat in my seats have said the same. Since you will attend a basketball game you will have an advantage because the players will be closer to you because of their height.

Possible, they just demolished everything. Didn't take time to remove the unit - just let it fall with the bricks and mortar.

Not sure if you have ever been to a basketball game in a football stadium but the game experience and atmosphere is very poor. Unless you are in the 300's or less, you will watch more of the game on the big screen than you will looking at the court. Speaking of video screens, the new South EZ screen at Owen Field will be the second largest in the country. Larger than A&M and slightly smaller than Auburn. I am told that the technology has advanced to such a degree that the old video in Norman is simply obsolete.

I was only 11 yrs old at the time & don't remember the infinite details of the game, but I attended the UoH & UCLA game in '68. Two greats battled it out, Lou Alcinder & Elvin Hayes. The court was placed in the midlle of the stadium (2nd base area) and the players were little sticks. There was no large video screens like with today's technology. But it was fun to be there. Having said this, the NRG stadium (like most newer built stadiums) is built differently than those from the 60's. The rows are built much, much more steeper. The levels are more stacked and are actually much closer to the playing field than stadiums of old. Add to this the video screen, the atmosphere & excitement of it being a 'live' game, and most importantly, watching a Sooner team in the final four and hopefully the Championship game, I think if it's possible to score tickets, it should be a great time. I'm going to hang out at the stadium on Monday starting around 2pm to see if I can score something affordable. I've printed a seating chart etc. Wish me luck.

BTW, houston, as a season ticket holder, were you given an option for tickets?

 

[Section22Sooner]

Lou Alcinder & Elvin Hayes.

Awesome. Karreem Abul Lew Jabbar Alcinder. Little known fact. He lived in little ol' Enid, OK for a year in the early 2000's to coach the Oklahoma Storm basketbal team of the USBL (or something like that).

WNS, the Texans always give me an option -- an option to buy the following year's Texans' tickets at a higher price. I "paid" for the seats but only for Texans' football games (and exhibition games at full price).

Oh, I do get a opportunity to participate in the Super Bowl lottery for tickets. Odds of winning are slightly better than the Texans winning a Super Bowl in my life time.

I wonder which comes first (if at all) -- OU winning #8 or Texans winning a Super Bowl (in my life time).

Good question...better yet, which happens first, Detroit playing in a Super bowl or OU winning 8? (got to go with OU winning eight)

8,750 square foot video board at a cost of 5 million. I got to see a demo of the technology. There won't be anything like it in college football. Even though it's roughly 1250 square feet larger, Auburn's board cost 3.5 million. The 5 million for a smaller board should smell awesome to the fans. You might find yourself no longer watching the play on the field anymore, but watching that screen instead.
