Boone Pickens Stadium, home of the Oklahoma State Cowboys, looks very different than when it opened over 90 years ago. Originally known as Lewis Field after Dr. Laymon Lewis, the Cowboys played their first game at the stadium in 1920. It originally had a capacity of 8,000 and the gridiron was situated in a north-south direction. However, soon after opening, it was moved to an east-west direction because of strong winds that affected play on the field. By 1924, stands were constructed on the south side of the stadium and six years later the capacity was at 13,000 when stands were built on the north side. The next expansion came in 1947, when the south stands were extended to seat 30,000 and a press box was constructed.

Three years later, the team expanded the north grandstand, giving Lewis Field a seating capacity of 39,000. In 1972, the track surrounding the field was removed and the field was lowered 12 feet allowing 20 rows to be placed around the field. In addition, the natural grass field was removed and replaced with Astroturf. A new press box was built in 1980 and night football was played for the first time in 1985. In 2003, Lewis Field was renamed Boone Pickens Stadium, after famous Oklahoma State alumni, Boone Pickens' numerous and substantial donations to the school. In recent years the look of Boone Pickens Stadium has changed dramatically. Prior to the start of the 2004 season, $74 million was spent on the south side of the stadium adding a new pressbox, luxury suites and a new brick facade. The latest expansions to Boone Pickens Stadium have been completed over the past two years. Seating was added on the west side of the stadium increasing the seating capacity to 60,000. Luxury suites were also added to this section before the 2009 season.
