Norman, Okla. - With construction in progress all around Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, those attending Saturday's Red/White Spring Football Game should expect several changes in and around the facility.

Advanced tickets for the game, which can be picked up at the Will Call window at McCasland Field House on game day, are on sale now by calling 405/325-2424 or 1-800-456-4668. Tickets also can be purchased on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the Lloyd Noble Center box office. The hours on Thursday and Friday are 10 a.m.-5 p.m.

Sales on Saturday will take place at the Lloyd Noble Center box office, McCasland Field House and Gate 45, located at the southeast corner of the stadium. All ticket locations will open at 9:30 a.m., Saturday. The stadium gates will open at 11:30 a.m.

The OU Ticket Office will operate 14 points of sale at the field house, while four will be operated at the southeast corner of the stadium. Spectators are encouraged to arrive early. Bags are not allowed in Memorial Stadium except those required for medical or emergency purposes. Searches will be conducted at all points of entry. The preferred point of entry is Gate 11 on the northwest corner of the stadium.

Seating in the stadium will be restricted to the west side.

Most of Jenkins Avenue, located east of the stadium, between Boyd and Lindsey is now closed due to construction. Those driving to the game are encouraged to avoid Jenkins. The greatest number of parking spots adjacent to the stadium are located in the Duck Pond area east of the stadium. Graveled lots have been added north of the John Jacobs Track and Field Complex since the conclusion of the 2001 football season.

Kickoff for the game is set for 1 p.m.
