If on Court Street hit up Big Mamma's Burritos they are like chipotle but better! A good place to watch a game would be at the bottom of Court there's a bar and pizza place.

If you want more sit down there's a place called Leghorns at the end of State that's pretty good. Nice place to watch the games.

The Oak Room use to be really good. I would also recommend Millers Chicken ( a hidden gem) and Misstrettas. Both are amazing and only a few minute drive from campus.

I was pretty sure it wasn't....but definitely looks like one. Have not tried it.

My daughter and boyfriend (Marshall) and several OU friends are sitting 10 rows back on the 50. I bought two regular priced tickets for them and the owner brought us 8 more and a parking pass....all for $70

Lol... it was a disaster. I decided on burrito buggy but it wasn't open. So the ex wife who was along decided on "pigskins".... it was meh. I almost just boxed up my food there so I could get a burrito at that other burrito place lol
