Oklahoma State fans are very excited for the newest addition to Boone Pickens Stadium for the upcoming 2018 football season and the new much larger video board with the closest proximity to the field and to the fans of any in college football and pro football as well. That is certainly going to be the game changer that Oklahoma State athletic director Mike Holder and Cowboys head football coach Mike Gundy have spoke of. The new video board panels started going up on Wednesday, June 27, but down on the opposite end of Boone Pickens Stadium there is another project being worked on that will hopefully have a strong positive impact on Oklahoma State football recruiting. It will also include the use of video boards, just not quite as large.

Oklahoma State football is remodeling the area that serves as a lobby and a display on the level of the coaches offices. In the past there was a display saluting Boone Pickens for his donation to rebuild the stadium. Barry Sander' Heisman Trophy was a centerpiece in that area and it had pictures and salutes the All-American and All-Conference Cowboys as well as trophies from Oklahoma State bowl games. However, we all know that we live in a visual and interactive age. Mike Gundy and his staff, including recruiting coordinator Mike Groce and on-campus recruiting director Patsy Armstrong have seen other schools and had new ideas to better display Oklahoma State football to recruits.

Now it is game on as some displays have already been changed throughout the building and there is always an emphasis on showing off the Cowboys that have graduated on to the National Football League and that is and will continue to be prominently displayed.

Play like you are a hot-shot five-star running back or safety from Texas. No, you're from Louisiana. Wait a second, you are a homegrown prep star from Oklahoma. Take the tour and see if you are impressed.
