A 10,967-seat arena on the south campus, completed in 1975 and home to the OU Sooners men's and women's basketball teams. The Sooners women's program is one of the best in the country — multiple Final Fours since 2000 — and tickets to women's games are usually easier to get than to men's. The arena also hosts concerts (typically a half-dozen big touring acts per year) and high-school state basketball tournaments.
It is a functional 1970s arena rather than a beautiful building, but the seating bowl is steeply pitched and there are no bad seats. Convenient parking compared with downtown venues in Oklahoma City. Box office at the main entrance.
