Boone Pickens Stadium, Oklahoma StateΓÇÖs football home, is now far removed from the original Athletic Field that opened in 1913. The CowboysΓÇÖ first football field gained its first permanent seating in 1920 and was repositioned from north-south to east-west to ΓÇ£avoid the prevailing strong winds.ΓÇ¥

The stadium was originally named after Laymon Lowery Lewis, the popular dean of veterinary medicine in the early 1900s. In addition to his duties as dean and instructor at A&M, Lewis served as the school’s acting president in 1914. He was instrumental in the development of experimental stations around the state and, under his brief administration, A&M established the first school of commerce and marketing in the nation.
