NORMAN, Okla. -- The University of Oklahoma's Meet the Sooners Day autograph session is moving due to excessive heat. The event will take place on the same time and day as previously announced, 10 a.m.-noon on Saturday, Aug. 6, but will now be held under the grandstands on the east and west sides of Gaylord Family - Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.

The General Public line will form at Gate 5 beginning at 7 a.m. The line will flow under the Asp Avenue Parking Facility on the west side of the stadium.

The Sooner Kids Club can begin entering the stadium at 7 a.m., through Gate 7. That group is required to check in at the Sooner Kids Club table to receive a membership package. They will then move to the lines under the stadium.

The offense and assistant coaches will be on the east of the stadium, while the defense, special teams and head coach Bob Stoops will be located on the west side.

To facilitate faster movement in the lines and to create more space under the stadium, the only players available this year will be those who have played in at least one game at OU. The coaching staff also will be available.
