The Traditions
No visit to Owen Field is complete without witnessing the Sooner Schooner, a Conestoga wagon pulled by two white ponies named Boomer and Sooner, race across the field after every Oklahoma score. The "Pride of Oklahoma" marching band's pregame show is a must-see, culminating in the formation of the interlocking "OU" while the crowd roars.
🎺
Pregame Rituals
Listen for the deafening "BOOMER... SOONER" chant that echoes through the stadium before kickoff and after big plays.
