January 2019.
Mary Margaret M.

Opened in 1938, Gallagher-Iba Arena is a classic old school basketball arena which was renovated in the early 2000s. Its surely not a new state-of-the-art arena, but in some cases, like this one, I actually like it better. You can feel the history of the arena when you're there. The staff are friendly and the space is well maintained and overall very clean. Easy access to upper floors via escalator or elevator. Good sight lines. The Jumbotron is well placed and the replays look good. On big game days they have a variety of food vendors, including Chick-fil-a and other well known fast food names. When your on the upper level you can seek a peek inside Boone Pickens Stadium or catch great views of Stillwater country. I'm not a fan of the parking as there is not directional signage to help those of us looking for general parking. It's difficult to navigate to the arena if it's your first visit. You can, however, see if you can catch a ride with a free shuttle service that's offered onsite.

Nice place for a basketball game or graduation! My niece is graduating today and will be going through their vet program, she's had nothing but good things to say about her program, faculty and fellow students. The seats are roomy but the higher you sit, the steaper the go, pretty scary uptop. There is a big quadra jumbo screen so you can catch all the action.

So if you're looking for a good place with great sightlines to watch a college football game, then…read morethe Boone has you covered. The stadium is clean and easy to enter/exit, security is friendly and efficient, and there are plenty of concessions options. Rating: 5/5 for a great seat anywhere. So the Cowboys ain't my colors, but the Okie State fans are gracious and welcoming, unless you're sporting crimson & cream (blech!). They love the upgraded video and luxury box looks and there have been plenty of magic moments here. Rating: 5/5 for Oklahoma charm, y'all. But there's a few modern amenities that Boone Pickens Stadium lacks. First, no public WiFi. I'm sorry, what? How long have they been asleep? C'mon, Pokes boosters, pony the heck up and get MODERN. Secondly, though, no TVs in the concourses. I mean, why go for a restroom break or food & drink if you can't keep with the in-game acti-welp, the crowd is ROARING, so sumthin musta happened. Boooo. But the grab & go concessions with self-service is an absolute winner, so they're making progress. Rating: maybe 2/5, and that's just my good mood and the yummy pulled pork talking. But the purpose is to be part of the crowd and see young athletes wearing laundry you like and to cheer loudly. You can get in & out, there are lots of parking options, and anyone who has that nostalgic college Saturday bend loves a walk through the campii and the sounds of the band. The Boone is as good as anyplace else in providing those memorable experiences, even if you have trouble sending a text. Okie State, you're good people. I'll be back, and hopefully next time I'll see my laundry win.

So grateful for this place The atmosphere is electric,…read morethere are options for GF and meat-free that are more than popcorn, everything is clean, everyone is helpful. There's even a number to text with emergencies in the stands, as well as emergency alerts. Best place for a game or a concert

My daughter applied for FAFSA months before the semester began, but it kept getting returned three…read moreseparate times for a date-of-birth error that we had to call and fix each time. By the time her FAFSA finally processed just three days before classes we finally learned what her loans and scholarships would be, and it wasn't enough to afford attendance. We had already paid a $300 housing deposit to hold her spot (which we understood at the time was for housing, not enrollment). When we realized she couldn't afford to attend, we immediately unenrolled before classes even began. Despite that, OSU is now charging her a $250 "late withdrawal" fee and an additional $42 overnight stay fee that was added a month later. I've spoken to multiple departments and no one is willing to remove these charges -- even though the entire situation stemmed from FAFSA delays and financial hardship, not neglect or intent to misuse university resources. It's disheartening to see a large, well-funded university insisting on fining a student who simply couldn't afford to attend due to financial aid timing. This feels wrong and deeply unfair, and I hope OSU will reconsider how it handles cases like hers in the future. BUYER BEWARE they will tack on many fees.
