Background

No one has played a bigger role in creating a new future for Oklahoma State athletics than OSU graduate and nationally respected entrepreneur and philanthropist Boone Pickens. His donations and vision have led to an incredible $300 million transformation of OSU's Football Stadium, a world-class venue which now proudly bears his name. Since his first gift of $20 million in 2003 helped fund the renovation of the south side of the stadium, Boone has given a record-breaking $254 million to OSU athletics. On Monday, Boone will tour the crown jewel of the seven-year renovation project, the completed $180 million West End Zone that is now the new home of OSU Cowboy football. His tour on Monday will be the first time for him to see and experience what is one of the finest collegiate football facilities in the country. He will let us know if he believes his investment has delivered the scope, magnitude and quality he envisioned when he first announced his record gifts.
