Located at the south end of the Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, the Switzer Center houses football offices, the football locker room, equipment room, the Siegfried Strength and Conditioning Complex, the Freede Sports Medicine Facility and the Touchdown Club Legends Lobby.
The Anderson All-American Plaza, located just outside the Switzer Center, features a large wall honoring every OU All-American. The name of every letterwinner from each OU sport is also displayed.
The Wilkinson facility is the outdoor practice complex for the Oklahoma Sooners football team. It is named in honor of legendary Sooner Coach Bud Wilkinson.
The Legends Lobby is home to a museum dedicated to the history of Oklahoma Sooners football. Among the pieces in the collection are all five Oklahoma Heisman Trophies, every individual Sooner award, every Sooner Bowl Championship Trophy, championship rings, and a Mural representing Sooner history and tradition.
Artist Ted Watts completed the mural in December 1998 and has updated the mural to include recent accomplishments in 2002 and 2005.
