Boone Pickens Stadium, located on the campus of Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, is the home of the Cowboy football team. Dr. Lowery Layman Lewis (Sept. 3, 1869-Sept. 26, 1922) arrived in Stillwater in 1896 as a professor of veterinary medicine and later became dean of veterinary medicine and the School of Science and Literature. Known affectionately as "Old Doc Lew," he organized early track and football teams at Oklahoma A&M, earning recognition as "the most beloved figure" among territorial scholastic students. In 1910, the Athletic Association named the athletic grounds Lewis Field in his honor, a name made official during the 1913-14 academic year. In 1919, the field was moved to its permanent site on the northeast edge of the campus and repositioned to avoid prevailing winds. It was renamed in honor of Thomas Boone Pickens (May 22, 1928-Sept. 11, 2019), a prominent OSU alumnus and philanthropist, following his transformative $165 million donation in 2006. The stadium has undergone significant renovations, including a state-of-the-art football operations center, new seating and modern facilities, making it one of the premier venues in college football. With a seating capacity of over 52,000, Boone Pickens Stadium provides a unique game-day environment and a roaring home-field advantage for the Cowboys.
