Barry Switzer Center

The Barry Switzer Center, on the University of Oklahoma campus in Norman, Oklahoma, houses football offices, the football locker room, equipment room, the Siegfried Strength and Conditioning Complex, the Freede Sports Medicine Facility and the Touchdown Club Legends Lobby. The Center is located at the south end of the Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. The Barry Switzer Center, dedicated on April 24, 1999, was named after OU’s all-time winningest head football coach. During Summer 2015 the Switzer Center was demolished as part of the expansion of Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. In Barry Switzer’s 16 seasons as the Oklahoma Sooners head football coach, the team won three national championships, 12 Big Eight Conference championships and eight bowl games in 13 appearances.

Anderson All-American Plaza

The Anderson All-American Plaza, located just outside the Switzer Center, features a large wall honoring every OU All-American. The name of every letterwinner from each OU sport is also displayed.

Wilkinson Football Practice Facility

The Wilkinson facility is the outdoor practice complex for the Oklahoma Sooners football team. It is named in honor of legendary Sooner Coach Bud Wilkinson.

Legends Lobby

The Legends Lobby is home to a museum dedicated to the history of Oklahoma Sooners football. Among the pieces in the collection are all five Oklahoma Heisman Trophies, every individual Sooner award, every Sooner Bowl Championship Trophy, championship rings, and a Mural representing Sooner history and tradition.

Mural

Artist Ted Watts completed the mural in December 1998 and has updated the mural to include recent accomplishments in 2002, 2005 and 2009.
