We've actually met before, I sat next to you at the OU game in Norman back in 2011.
Student seats wrapped around into the south end zone. I used to sit there.
Maybe in a different timeline it would work, but this would eliminate a lot of current student housing
Should have built over the top of the street and made it a tunnel, like the running track.There was already no place to expand west, short of buying out all the property owners along Sheldon and closing the street. So as the stadium grew, the only option was to do so in a lopsided fashion.
You can see how much different the west and east stands were in size during the last few years:
When I was a kid, we would tailgate where the College of Design building is located.
For ***** and giggles...JTS flipped 180 degrees, Jacobson gone, and overlaid (to scale) right where Clyde Williams was.
To be honest I think that is kind of what we are going for with Pollards CyTown.
What’s the building in the top right, across the street from what used to be the grocery store? That wasn’t there when I got there in the Eighties. Iirc, that was all low income housing.
Is it a school?
I was in the south end zone when we tied Nebraska and everybody went nuts (alcohol influence) in the early 70’s. We all expected a routine extra point for the win and didn’t realize that we chocked until the scoreboard didn’t change well after the kick. In the 60’s, Tommy Vaughn & Tommy Watkins were studs under Clay Stapleton. My father was a letterman and we would go to the Will Call window, he would show his letterman card and we would get free tickets. In those days there were always seats available.
It does look like a school. But not sure. Maybe I can find some other info.
Edit: @Aclone
Harlan School (1968 to 1973) located southeast of Lincoln Way and S Hyland Ave. and named for long time principal John Harlan, had been the original Welch school until the new Junior High was opened on State Street. Harland was sold in May of 1976.

Shh.........I will probably get in trouble for posting off subject again.**** off. This is a Clyde Williams thread now!
They could have done like LSU and built the dorms into the stadium
wow I don't know those apartments on lincoln way were that old. I had a buddy live there one year. It was actually a pretty nice spot.
