Oklahoma State Football 2024 in Boone Pickens Stadium Sold Out!

August 15, 2024

STILLWATER – For the first time in history Oklahoma State Cowboys football has sold out completely for two straight seasons. This summer there was a hard return date set by the Big 12 Conference on tickets that road teams received from the home teams. The deadline about a month ago called for road teams to return all tickets they did not need. That allowed schools to sell their entire inventory and Oklahoma State has now sold every available tickets for all home football games in 2024.

Six sell-outs!

“This may be the first time we have had hard sellouts at this stage,” Sr. Associate Athletic Director for Development Larry Reece told Pokes Report. “With that deadline it has allowed all schools to have a greater read on how many tickets they have versus past years when schools would return tickets a month before the game. This is a hard sellout on the season.”

That includes all season tickets, all mini ticket packages, single tickets, and, as mentioned, all tickets allocated to visiting teams. 

The first game to sell out was the non conference game with Arkansas on Sept. 7. The Uath game on Sept. 21 and Homecoming against Arizona State (Nov. 2) quickly followed. The opener (Aug. 31) with two-time FCS national champion and No. 1-ranked South Dakota State was sold out early. The West Virginia game on Oct. 5 and the Texas Tech game on Nov. 23 were thelast two to sell out.

We at least know our demand is right around 52,305. We had to reduce seating by almost 8.000 seats from the opening of BPS with a stated capacity of 60,218 to actually know for certain.

The effort to add comfort and easier ingress and egress plus compliance with ADA was well over due. Hopefully demand rises not only for suites but regular seating as well and expansion can happen.

Hey bud, let me help you out here, it wasn't just to add comfort and easier ingress and egress and ADA compliance but TOO REPLACE STRUCTURAL STEEL THAT HAD BEEN IN PLACE SINCE 1952 (70 plus years ago) that was beyond its usable life cycle which is usually 50 to 60 years for the effected steel members!!! So IT WAS BASICALLY A HUGE STRUCTURAL SAFETY PROJECT!!! Robert can back me up on this 100%. If seating capacity was reduced to accomplish this SO BE IT, SAFETY FIRST! Oh by the way I believe we sold out all our home games LAST SEASON WHEN OUR CAPACITY WAS 1,200 more at 53,508!
