I have been going to Oklahoma football games since the age of 5. My entire family has gone to OU and I have followed in the family footsteps. That being said, growing up a football player I always dreamed of playing in that stadium. Although not for the Sooners, I had the opportunity to play in this stadium for the University of Tulsa. It was a humble realization. I was once a kid in the cheap seat, who had scaled an endless number of walkways to catch a game, to standing in the middle of the field before a game. The stadium is extremely steep when seeing it from the middle. Compared to the comfortable feel I had grown accustomed to as a kid. It was interesting to see the number of differences of feel there are just from being in different locations in the stadium.  Growing up, just as the ancient Romans, Gaylord Family Memorial Stadium was my Colosseum.
