Headed to Norman for the series. Never been, anyone have insight on places to hang out? Excited for the series, AND its St Patty's Day weekend. Thanks in advance.

It's been a while. I have to say that, back in the Big XII days, Norman itself was not a big attraction for visitors because it is basically a suburb of OKC where most of the action is. In looking around for a place to stay and such, it looks like to me that there has been some development in this regard in the intervening years, but I don't have any personal experience on the subject.

I'll be staying at the Embassy Suites in Norman.

Appreciate it. We are staying in OKC.

The game times on this series are a little unusual, with Saturday being a 4:00 p.m. start, and Sunday at 2:00 p.m. So, on Saturday, you will have time to kill during the day.

I recommend staying in Bricktown in OKC and driving to the games as Norman is basically nothing.

Lots of bars, restaurants, and hotel options in Bricktown.

The only thing I miss about the Big 12 is the tournament there. That was the ideal place for a tournament. I think the SEC tournament is staying in Hoover forever, but if they ever seriously consider another spot, they should look at Bricktown.

Agree. That was an ideal spot. I enjoyed just walking around Bricktown.

Any advice on the parking options? We are attending Friday's game and it looks like we should be able to park at the Lloyd Center.

Yes. The most convenient parking you will find anywhere in the SEC. Plenty of it, and I believe it's still all free.

There will be AMPLE parking available at Lloyd Noble. There should be zero concern for parking with OU Baseball.

Awesome! Thank you.

The 2 best things about the Big 12 during A&M's time were the baseball tourney at Bricktown and basketball tourney in KC. Now that they are no longer using Bricktown, I wish the SEC would grab it even if just alternating with Alabama every other year.
