The picture above is one that many sports fans will recognize. I did not attend many football games here before I came to the University of Oklahoma, but have went to them as much as possible since being here. When i first entered the stadium, I was in awe of the sheer size as I walked to my seat. The seating seems to curve up into the clouds. While underneath the stands is somewhat bland, the outside gives the appearance of a fortress. Walking through the iron gates made me feel like I was a part of something special. This stadium creates a deep impact in cohesiveness within the university. When students and fans enter into this arena, they all want the same thing which is a win for our school and state. Just being in this stadium makes me feel like I belong to a community. I believe that connecting the stadium into one giant bowl has made this even more clear. There are now no separations and allow for maximum fan inclusion. The times that I have spent at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium are those of which I will cherish forever. Every time I will visit after my time at the University of Oklahoma, it will always feel like a second home to me.
