Keys to selling out Boone Pickens Stadium

Oklahoma didn't sell out Boone Pickens Stadium this year -- never really came close. Ticket prices are part of the problem. OSU reduced some ticket prices to help put fans in the stadium. Now, the coaches and players must step up with a great performance in tonight's Alamo Bowl game. A victory would do a lot to bring more fans to the stadium. Three key off-season decisions also will could bring more OSU fans to the stadium. OSU quarterback Brandon Weeden and wide receiver Justin Blackmon have NFL decisions to make. OSU head coach Mike Gundy must select a replacement for offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen. Gundy will stick with the Air Raid offense because it fits OSU's players. If Weeden or Blackmon stay or if both stay and Gundy picks a well-known Mike Leach/Holgorsen disciple, The Cowboys should play to packed houses in 2011.
