The University of Oklahoma is expanding its private tailgating areas to allow for a more robust fan experience during the 2022 football season.
The private tailgating footprint will now include two expanded areas near the Lindsey Street and Jenkins Avenue intersection: On the northeast corner, where the old Bud Wilkinson Center was located, adjacent to the existing private tailgating area; and on the southwest corner, on the lawn surrounding Headington College.
The designated areas of campus for public tailgating will remain unchanged from the 2021 season. Fans will be permitted to set up tailgate equipment beginning at noon on the day prior to scheduled home football games.
Other game day events and gatherings that will continue this year include:
Game Day Traffic, Road Closures and Parking
