Interesting thing about this video is not necessarily the football game itself, but the Stadium and the party hill. Go to 14:30 and you'll see the band doing Huron stuff followed by the hill.
Good stuff friend. Thank you.
Man, fun times! I was there, too young to (legally) drink. It is hard to believe that that set up passed for DI football! Also football uniforms and equipment were so bulky back then. How did we even move?
Nickle, I am absolutely loving this old footage you are providing. ‘87 is a little before my time, but love watching it. Thanks!
Kinda how I remembered it being in the late 1970s. A glorified high school field and stadium. Yes we can complain about the maintenance and upkeep but today we and the players enjoy a MUCH better facility including turf lights seating and the scoreboard and training facility.
Can you imagine trying to pitch that to today's athlete? Rynearson may still be a dump but damn, we've come a long way.

You are 100% right, Bob.
Remove the track and do some creative work to reduce VISUALLY the distance from the sideline to stands and it goes a long ways to add appeal as a decent FBS stadium.
Visually the G.G. GameAbove Center is great. The visually the SAPC is great.
Now we need to improve the field's appearance. I'm not opposed to going back to green turf.
This was really fun to watch, thanks for posting.
Man, OU's marching band has always been awesome. Watched every minute of that halftime show!
