Where Should I Stay for an OU Football Game?
For an OU football game, stay in a whole home in Norman near Campus Corner or downtown so you can walk or take a short ride to Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium and skip game-day parking. Hostlahoma co-hosts a group of Norman homes for game weekends — Castro Cottage (4 bedrooms, sleeps 11, hot tub and arcade) is the pick for big groups.
