I made it to my first ever College Football Playoff game here at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial…read moreStadium and it was a terrific experience! This past Friday night - 12/19/25, Norman, Oklahoma was the center of the college football universe as the Sooners hosted Alabama in the #8 vs. #9 game of the playoffs. I found my ticket on SeatGeek for $345 in Section 233, Row 24, Seat 6. This was the last row in the upper deck on the visiting side of the stands. It wasn't too high up (imo). I still had a bird's eye view of the action. I will say...for this impromptu playoff game that gets organized by a committee of football "experts" who's sole responsibility is to select the 12 most deserving football schools into the tournament, I immediately bought my ticket after the schedule was announced. Did I have FOMO anticipating ticket prices could skyrocket higher? YES. But being from Florida, I had to purchase airfare and a rental car ASAP, and it felt reassuring to lock in a ticket as well since there was no turning back, but my point is...prices actually significantly decreased throughout the week and a half leading up to the game. Now 24 hours prior to kickoff, my $345 seat was selling for $190. Oh well stuff like this occasionally happens, but...these college playoff games get scheduled so last minute during the holiday season that it's very possible fans may have alternative family plans, and I'd just suggest future playoff attendees being patient when searching for their tickets. I really liked Gaylord Family Stadium. It opened in 1923 and has a capacity of 80,000. But for a 102 year old stadium, it's in great shape and the energy for this playoff game had a fever pitch. Kickoff was 7pm (central time zone) and they allowed fans inside at 5pm. Outside the stadium, they had a "Party at the Palace" featuring food vendors, tailgates, fans taking photos, music and even four F-35 fighter jets flying over the festivities. ESPN's College Gameday crew had their pregame show live on campus. For parking, there was a garage connected to Gaylord Stadium. Other lots nearby charged $40. I arrived early and parked for free on a side street 1 mile away and walked to the game. I'd also like to point out that the entrance off West Lindsey Street is a worthwhile photo opportunity. This area has statues dedicated to famous Oklahoma coaches like Bob Stoops and Barry Switzer. From the coaches dedications area, if you walk to the righthand side of Gaylord Stadium, you'll find Heisman Row with even more statues of Sooners Heisman Trophy winners like Kyler Murray, Sam Bradford and Baker Mayfield. Viewing these historic shrines had me thinking how rich Oklahoma's football roots are. Another nice picture moment was in front of the end zone located beside the "Party at the Palace". Here they had large SOONERS letters to stand in front of for a fun family photo. My favorite moment of the game was Oklahoma's team introductions. It was a sight to see! They turned out the lights and the deejay pumped up the crowd. Then as Sooners players entered the field, an abundance of fireworks exploded from both end zones and from behind Oklahoma's home stands. It was thrilling. I had goosebumps and couldn't believe the abundance of fireworks like a pinnacle July 4th moment. I'll post a quick video of it along with this review. It was the highlight of my night, lol. The Pride of Oklahoma Band was outstanding as well and put on an entertaining halftime performance. Also during halftime, an exciting drone light show showcased everything associated with Oklahoma football including a Boomer Sooner formation, an OU sign formation and a horse and carriage formation, to name a few. At the end of the 3rd quarter, there was a performance by the rapper, 50 Cent, while more fireworks lit up the night's sky. It was an energetic way to begin the 4th quarter. Not sure if 50 Cent will return in the future, lol, but him showing up was memorable. Overall, the football game was competitive. Oklahoma jumped out to a 17 - 0 lead. Alabama tied it at 17 - 17 by halftime. Unfortunately Alabama pulled away in the 2nd half to win 34 - 24 and fellow fans I sat next to and got to know a little about unfortunately went home unhappy. I felt bad because they were nice people and it was easy to recognize how passionate they were about their Sooners. Still, for just being a neutral fan of college football, I got to live out a dream attending my first ever CFP game, regardless of the outcome. I traveled halfway across the country to experience it all and for that, I am grateful. Thank you for having me Oklahoma, and Boomer Sooner!

The worker's had smiles on their faces and had good vibes. I even said yes to the daughters and bought a couple pom poms (small wristlet ones) $30+ Kona ice for the win on staying open later... Ice cream that one daughter wanted closed by the time we got over there. The place had clean bathrooms and were easy to find. Popcorn came in a big bag and smelled good. The music was loud enough but not overpowering. The kids zone was a big hit from my two toddlers. I hope to return for another event here. They did a great job... Respectfully, Bryan Yukon, Oklahoma

I was in Oklahoma visiting my son and decided to stop in to the national weather Museum. Upon…read moreentering we could tell that the museum was not totally set up at this point. There was a few items that still needed to be properly set up. After we were met at the front desk a gentleman took us around to the lackluster exhibits. I can truly say this place is more of a joke then a museum. I am not sure how good it will be once I get this museum completed. They need to properly staff the museum with people know all about what is exhibited. I would not recommend this museum to anyone who wants a great experience. It was truly not properly set up or maned with a good staff that knew all about what was in this museum. Really not worth the money you have to pay.

Parking and entry were super easy, the bar was small but had all the cold beer & spiked hot chocolate we wanted. Concessions were quick and great (we had hot pretzels & cheese, a lot of people were ordering pizza). The staff, the "regulars," ALL the people were super friendly. It was such a chill, welcoming place. I didn't know what temperature to expect, I was fine in two layers but next time I'll bring gloves & beer koozies. The only snag was it was really hard to find our seats, there are no ushers and not much signage. But once you figure it out you don't need signs. Overall we had an awesome time, the ice center is a fantastic spot to watch hockey, and we can't wait to come back!

One said "I know there are more stales in here open the fucking door" if you've been to the deli you would know there is only one toliet in the girls restroom. A grown male walked in to the restroom totally unprofessional and weird... The owner told us to get out obviously to de-escalate the situation this led to him telling us to get the fuck out as the bar was starting to close. We were just trying to tell him what happened as it was very uncomfortable, he then told us to use the mens restroom and it will be fine . If i were you i would avoid using the bathroom...because everyone felt like it was okay to watch you half naked/ felt in-tilted to kick the door open.

In a bar with only drinks to serve, hitting the service level to achieve a reasonable review of…read moresuccess should be easier; however, the only thing easy about The Deli was leaving, never to return. While the list of things wrong with this bar is longer than the lines at the restroom, mostly caused by the breaks taken by the staff to visit the facilities every fifteen minutes, I'll try to keep the problems to the most egregious. First, the bartenders couldn't be bothered to take an order. If you were lucky enough to make eye contact with one of them between their continuous arguments with each other, you were met with an uncanny ability to either forget your order within seconds or walk back to your table only to find the order was wrong. The line in the bar was quite long, not because the bar was packed with patrons, but rather because you would have to place your order multiple times, or return because it was an errant attempt at your order. The line was so long in fact, that multiple fights broke out while in line either between staff and customers or amongst the patrons themselves. Overall I believe the reason this place even stays open is it's near OU campus and doesn't have to work too hard to take advantage of the occasional new student, over served future middle management cog, or some out of town parents trying a local place. Do better.
