Oklahoma Sooners a hot ticket for 2014 season, in and outside of Norman
The Oklahoma Sooners football program is one of the most popular teams in college football. With the rich history and tradition, it’s always been known around the country. The names Barry Switzer and Bob Stoops are household sports figures from California all the way to New York.
So it’s no surprise that in games where the Sooners are the visiting team, the stadium can be found full, even if the home team is not having a good season. Being able to watch Oklahoma Football makes the ticket very hot.
This upcoming season, the Oklahoma Sooners have the seventh most expensive ticket in the nation in tickets sold across the entire season, according to VividSeats.com. The median price for a single Oklahoma football game is $134. As the visiting team, the Sooners have the 9th most expensive ticket in the country.
