Sea of orange
Official attendance of Saturday night’s game between Oklahoma State and Houston won’t be known until the fourth quarter, but it has the makings of the largest crowd in school history.
The biggest OSU home crowd is 51,458, which gathered in 1979 when Oklahoma visited Stillwater. Tonight’s crowd inside the new 60,000-seat facility appears to have fewer than 8,000 empty seats, although there are several sections where fans are spread pretty thin.
The new west end zone is far more occupied than anticipated. Earlier in the week, one school official estimated the crowd would be around 45,000, but walkup traffic was busier than expected.
The score is 7-7 after the first quarter and it remains to be seen if the Cowboys will protect their home field. They’ve already surrendered 124 yards to the Cougars.
If OSU ends up stumbling, it won’t be due to a lack of support in the stands.
As soon as the official attendance figure is announced, we will send a blog.
