Season Ticket Renewal

[927 E. 41st 1124]

It was fairly pain free, I found 6 in a row high enough up to be out of the sun fairly early. Pretty easy and fast.

[MAUFRAIS 6652]

Thanks for letting us know that your incredibly early selection time allowed you to select desirable seats.

Sorry, I guess it came off that way. I've been fighting off Covid and was mostly trying to get across that it was quick and (relatively) pain free. 

[MAUFRAIS 6652]

No sweat man. Just talking shit.

[927 E. 41st 1124]

All good.

[Longboard Horn 40566]

If any of y'all are able to get extra tickets for the OU game I will buy them.

What row/sections do you think are high enough up to be out of the sun early?  I've only sat in the student section. (Graduated a year ago) Hoping there's something good left when I get to pick.

You can get all the way up under the deck if you desire, but the columns that support the upper deck are around row 49-51. As others have stated, they are less of a problem if you are way up.  Section 8 about row 33 is in the sun for approximately half the game if it's an 11:00 kick. Slightly lower rows get shade earlier as you move toward 9-10, but as you turn the corner to the end zone you might not get shade at all (again with the 11:00 kick). It has been pretty hot and sunny the last couple of years, but I think I've experienced  every type of weather/ precip while sitting in that stadium. Just as I have experienced the highest of highs and lowest of lows! You never know, I've been lucky enough to be down close for the Richard Peavy hit on Marcus Dupree (youngsters might need to look it up, but as close as I was it sounded like a minor car wreck). And I though I had pretty bad seats one year, but was about 35 rows up on the goal line with a beautiful view of the Stonie Clark goaline stop. So you never know, sometimes the game makes the seat great!

Agree with the above; the beams aren’t near as bad once you hit row 60 or so. Given how this summer has gone, shade is a must for me….

[dcar00 14382]

poor about to go for OU tix.  anyone done one in the last day or 2?

[MAUFRAIS 6652]

Shade is gone, as are pretty much all the sideline lower level seats.

[dcar00 14382]

I got  4 tix in sec 11. 3 in row 31 and a single in row 37.  there were 2 groups of 3 left in rows 1-5 in sec 11.  sec 12 had a lot of tix.

not sure if I'll get any shade later in the game but whatever.

What kind of wimp needs shade at the Texas OU game?

[Borachio 417]

Snagged 2 OU tickets today during my selection time.  Last row of the upper deck on the east side, about the 45 yard line. Please sweet baby Jesus be overcast!

Careful what you wish for, it's rare but I have been begging for a warm bitter ray of sunshine and it's associated warmth while watching this game.

My first OU game was in 2000.  I belive it was almost sleeting if I remember correctly.  But I tried to block that one out.

Oh no, it wasn't almost, there was honest to God sleet and that wasn't the most miserable thing about it.

That game and the weather that day were the fucking worst

The app is asking me to sign in but not recognizing the email and pass I would use for DonorNet... what is wrong?

[MAUFRAIS 6652]

mine fucked up like that for a little and then just unfucked itself without me doin' nothin'

[Borachio 417]

Yeah, I had to uninstall and reinstall the app before I could see my tickets. 

[Delta Charlie 150]

Any word on if there are any leftover OU tickets the ticket office will sell?

I don’t remember the sleet. I just remember a steady cold-ass rain…it poured and ou poured it on. Ugh.

I do remember sleet at the ‘91 Cotton Bowl. Now, THAT was miserable.

And my apologies.  Why the hell am I bringing up such misery? 

[Surly Bevo 25225]

Oh for fucks sake. I was there. It was cold it was wet it was miserable but it wasn’t fucking sleeting. Temp was 49 degrees at kickoff and the rain actually brought it up a bit. Physics….how does it work.



Don’t make shit more horrible than it was. Which was pretty fucking horrible.

[gmr548 16617]

After last year, I’d take cold and rainy. I’ve never actually had a cold OU experience. Been going since starting school in 2010 and it’s been somewhere between warm and really hot every time.

I did miss 2019, which has essentially perfect weather, but the game was so infuriating I’m not even that mad about it.

[Bob Lives! 940]

My selection was last Wednesday but I missed it b/c I was whitewater rafting at the time on the Snake River in WY and had no signal. This concludes my humble brag. By the time I got to a signal, they’d chosen for me and put me 20+ rows up in the upper deck with the sun on my neck.

2010 had really good weather as well, and was an equally infuriating game. We had 3 late hit/PF penalties on 3rd down that kept drives alive where OU subsequently scored….

My dad was having trouble with the app as well.

I had these same exact seats last year, the one saving grace being at the top of the stadium is the wind made it bearable.  Lot of sun but with a steady breeze.  Take a hat and sunscreen

[Tex48 840]

I just snagged my OU seats. There weren't a lot of great options left. I'm endzone upper level row 14. Anyone sat in these sections before?

Yeah if you’re literally at the top you’ll get some wind action that the people in the rest of the section won’t get. Plus, any seat anywhere in the upper deck is still a great sight line….

It did sleet that day, and it has been recorded with high surface temperatures (not totally unlike hail on 100 degree day). The temps at 3000 and 6000 feet are a factor, the surface temp is almost irrelevant. Yes, it can also sleet on some parts of the stadium and not others. 

[Armybrat 40940]

Just went down to Bellmont to have my season tickets printed out on paper. Only two old geezers in front of me, so I was out of there in about 12 minutes.

Sat in 14 many times. As long as you're in row 30 or above you're okay. It's not the greatest of views but it's no too bad, and at least you're downstairs. There's nothing worse than sitting in an upper deck at a football stadium. Feels like you're watching the game from another zip code.

I have sat in a similar section quite a few times.  If it's like the last couple years it's hot as shit; take a hat, sunscreen and shades.  During halftime, I'd grab a beer and go sit in the 'Creative Arts' hall to get some air conditioning, but I'm on the wrong side of 40.

How bad is the view from the sections?

There isn’t a bad view in the upper deck of the Cotton Bowl…

Yet another meteorological comment. The comment above is true, except 1st quarter 1999 Cotton Bowl from the upper deck you couldn't see the field due to fog. IIRC it got better reasonably quickly. But maybe the first 5-7 minutes of clock time, it was hard to tell what was going on. What went on all day was Run Ricky, Run!

I sat upper deck end zone as a freshman. Better than the lower deck seats I had as a senior. Obviously you’d rather be sideline, but it’ll be fine. Upper deck is much better at the Cotton Bowl in general.

It can, and frequently does, sleet when surface temps are above freezing.
