Oklahoma is now one month away from adding to Heisman Park.

OU announced Wednesday additional details on the unveiling of 2018 Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray to the grounds on the east side of Oklahoma Memorial Stadium on April 22.

The statue will be unveiled at 11:30 a.m. in Heisman Park, and the unveiling will be free and open to the public.

The Red/White Game kicks off at 2:30 p.m., and Murray will be honored on the field at halftime.

Last year's game, which packed in a school-record and nation-leading 75,360 fans for Brent Venables spring game debut, also featured the unveiling of 2017 winner Baker Mayfield's Heisman statue.

OU also announced that tickets to the spring game as well as season tickets for the 2023 football season are now on sale at SoonerSports.com.

Spring game tickets for non-season ticket holders are $15 for reserved bowl seating. Tickets for OU football season ticket holders and Sooner Club members cost $10 each. Season ticket holders and Sooner Club members must log in to their online account to order.

MidFirst Bank East Stadium Club, Valero South Champions Club and Santee Lounge season ticket holders will have access to purchase reserved tickets within their respective club(s) for $10 each. Suite and loge box holders will be able to reserve their complimentary suite and loge box tickets via a separate RSVP that has been communicated by email.
