One of the most popular traditions surrounding the Oklahoma football program is returning to a Friday.
The 2019 version of Meet the Sooners Day, sponsored by Kona Ice, will be held the afternoon of Aug. 2 at Gaylord Family – Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. The annual free event gives OU fans a unique opportunity to interact with their favorite players.
NoonKids Club check-in begins 1:00 p.m at Gate 4 Entrance with Kids Club members admitted at 1:30 General public admitted at 3 p.m.
While OU appreciates the tremendous support from Sooners fans of all ages, in order to accommodate as many young fans as possible, Meet the Sooners Day will again be offered to children ages 14 and younger.
Each child may be accompanied by a maximum of one adult, but adults will not be permitted to submit items for autographs.
As has been the case for several years, a Sooner Jr. Kids Club autograph session will begin 30 minutes prior to the general public session. The Kids Club autograph session will begin at 1 p.m., while general patrons will be admitted at 1:30 p.m. The session will conclude at 3 p.m. for everyone.
Each child may bring one item to be signed, and there will be no exceptions.
A line for the general public will form at Gate 4 on the stadium's northwest corner beginning at noon. The line will flow under the Asp Avenue Parking Facility on the west side of the stadium.
Meet the Sooners Day check-in for pre-registered Sooner Jr. Kids Club members begins at noon at Gate 7 (northeast corner), where members will receive a number of their membership items.
Registration for the Sooner Jr. Kids Club is currently available online:
In order to gain early admission to the autograph lines, registration must be completed by noon on July 26. Kids Club memberships are $50 per child.
In addition to a Kids Club T-shirt, Sooner Jr. Kids Club membership benefits include access to over 80 events, including non-conference men's basketball games, women's basketball, baseball, softball, men's and women's gymnastics, wrestling, track and field, men's and women's tennis, soccer and volleyball contests, three exclusive gifts throughout the year and in-game experiences at select athletics events.
