How windy is Oklahoma Memorial Stadium?

Persistently windy. Sustained southerly winds of 15-20 mph are normal in Norman, and the open stadium ends let the wind reach field level with little interruption.

Does wind affect scoring in college football?

Our study of 4,330 college games found no material scoring deviation from wind alone, so we report conditions here rather than claiming a scoring edge. Kicking and deep passing are still visibly affected on the strongest days.

How hot does it get in Norman early in the season?

September afternoon kickoffs can reach the mid-90s°F with low humidity — dry heat, but the sun exposure in an open bowl is significant.

Why Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium plays differently

Southern Plains venue with persistent strong south wind; the north-south field axis means that wind runs the length of the field and strongly affects kicking and deep passing.
