McCasland Field House

McCasland Field House
Located in the heart of campus just north of Gaylord Family - Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, the Howard McCasland Field House is the home for Oklahoma volleyball, wrestling and men's gymnastics.

In recent years, the facility received updates to the interior and exterior, including a complete remodel of team spaces, locker rooms, training room and coaches' offices. Other recent interior improvements included a sound system, lighting and video board, while the main lobby, restrooms and concessions were also updated. Before the 2022 campaign, the volleyball program received a state-of-the-art Taraflex court.

History
Opened in 1928, the Field House was once the home of the men's basketball team. More than 5,000 fans attended the facility's first game on January 13, 1928, as the Sooners beat the Kansas Jayhawks, 45-19. Since then, the Field House hosted numerous OU sporting events.

In addition to sporting events, the Field House has hosted several notable musicians and entertainers. Oklahoma students have watched acts including Jimi Hendrix (1970), Henry Mancini (1963), Sonny and Cher (1969), Nat King Cole (1956) and Duke Ellington (1956). Former President Bill Clinton spoke at the Field House during the 2008 Presidential campaign.

Howard McCasland
A former captain and center for the Oklahoma basketball team from 1914-16, Howard McCasland was an outstanding player who local Sooner fans flocked to the gym to watch. During his senior campaign (1916), McCasland totaled 407 points, accounting for half of the entire team's season total. The Field House was named in his honor.
