From Wikipedia -

Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, also known as Owen Field or The Palace on the Prairie. is the on-campus football facility on the campus of the University of Oklahoma in Norman, Oklahoma, United States, that serves as the home of the Oklahoma Sooners football team. The official seating capacity of the stadium, following renovations in 2015, is 84,389, making it the 15th largest college stadium in the United States and the second largest in the Big 12 Conference, behind Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium at the University of Texas at Austin. The record attendance for the stadium was set during a 2016 game against the Ohio State Buckeyes, with 87,979 in attendance.

The stadium is a bowl-shaped facility with its long axis oriented north/south, with both the north and south ends enclosed. (The south end has only been enclosed since the 2015-2016 off season, when it was renovated as part of a $160 million project.) Visitor seating is in the south end zone and the southern sections of the east side. The student seating sections are in the east stands, surrounding the 350-member Pride of Oklahoma which sits in section 29, between the 20- and 35-yard lines. The Sooners' bench was once located on the east side with the students, but the home bench was moved to the west side in the mid-1990s.
