'Boys from Oklahoma' concerts at OSU: What to know about parking, tailgating and showtimes
The sold-out April 10-13 "The Boys from Oklahoma" stadium shows, to be co-headlined by newly reunited band Cross Canadian Ragweed and fellow popular Oklahoma Red Dirt act Turnpike Troubadours, have evolved into what's believed to be the biggest concert event in state history.
More than 180,000 tickets were swiftly snapped up for the four-night concert run at Oklahoma State University, which also is expected to bring to Stillwater thousands of fans looking not just to attend the concerts but also to tailgate, explore the birthplace of Red Dirt Music and catch the many other shows local venues are planning for the Ragweed reunion run.
