This is likely not going to happen to any great degree for two reasons.

1) The city of Norman wants to drive some of the game day festivities (and money) to the commercial districts in town (ie Campus Corner and Downtown) and the University has cooperated with this historically.

2) OU's green spaces have extremely well manicured lawns and they won't let fans tromp around on them and ruin them.

OU does have a green space called the Duck Pond that is off limits right now but could put them up to standards immediately if they chose to open it up.

Finally, the map doesn't show the Lloyd Noble Center which is on the south edge of campus. It has a huge parking lot and there is a lot of tailgaiting that goes on there and that's where the RV's are located.




Yeah, I live in OKC and am down in Norman quite a bit. I really enjoy Norman, but the tailgating has a way to go to get to SEC caliber. I hope OU begins making strides in that direction.

I am an SEC guy and I welcome them to the party. I love that they are bringing the programs up to standard. It helps the conference as a whole. I don't get the hate of Texas and Oklahoma when they bring a lot to the table.

The tailgating was okay before Boren got a stick up his arse about it and shut down large portions of those areas. The fanbase is not enthused about what he did either.
