NFL Exhibitions games for Gaylord Family Memorial Stadium?

[Laramie]

Next season 2012-13 would be the best time to attract some NFL exhibition games to the Oklahoma City Metropolitan Area.

Which teams would you like to see play in the metropolitan area?

We need our own nfl team in okc.....

Sadly both are pipe dremas. The NFL will NEVER come to OKC as a team.

Never is a very long time, Mustang. Never in our lifetime is a better way to put it.

That depends on how old most are on this forum :-)

I can see in my grandkids time an exhibition game but to hope this area could grow to the point of supporting an NFL team is a dream so big that to even promote it denigrates a persons credibility on other more legitimate pursuits.

Not sure why people are saying it is a pipe dream...I guess memory loss is abound. LOL

Norman has hosted 8 exhibition games so far, the most recent was in 1998 (52, 54, 58 through 61, and 76 are the other years). Stillwater hosted 1 in 76 and Tulsa had hosted 7 (53, 54, 50, 65, 66, 67, and 68).

The 1998 game was Tampa Bay vs Kansas City for those that remember.

Venture, I remember past exhibition games here but that really wasn't the point. The discussion has been about if or when the OKC area could support a permanent team.

I think you are confusing this thread with the other thread discussing the NFL in OKC (http://www.okctalk.com/showthread.php?t=26882), since this thread/poll has been about a future exhibition game.

Venture, you're absolutely right. I did get them mixed up. Thanks for the correction.

OU should never again allow an NFL exhibition game -- even for the Rams. Why would OU want to possibly enable a probable dilution in future revenues of OU Sooner football? I am sure the competition of the Thunder has contributed to the attendance drops of the Sooner basketball teams.

we won't be getting a NFL stadium because we don't have a NFL Stadium to host a team Norman will be good but its a college stadium not a NFL Stadium and it will be tough for them to change the logo and the everything in less then 12 hours

Could you clarify that a little? You've got about ten sentences all run together and I don't have a clue about what you mean.
