NORMAN — One of the most popular traditions surrounding the Oklahoma football program is returning after a three-year hiatus. The 2023 version of Meet the Sooners Day will be held Saturday, Aug. 5 from 1-3 p.m. at Gaylord Family – Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. The annual event, this year presented in part by the Crimson and Cream Collective, OG&E, Devon Energy, Mathis Home and Orthodontics Exclusively, gives select OU fans a unique opportunity to interact with their favorite players and coaches on the main stadium concourse.
This year's Meet the Sooners Day, which will also feature the OU soccer team, will be available only to members of the Crimson and Cream Collective (age 13 and above) or the Sooner Jr. Kids Club (age 12 and under). Sooner Jr. Kids Club members must be accompanied by one adult guest, while Crimson and Cream Collective members will not be permitted to bring a guest (unless it is a Sooner Jr. Kids Club member).
