Orange Glow

Join us in illuminating Stillwater with the #OrangeGlow and showing your support for Cowboy Football! This community initiative encourages residents and businesses to switch their porch/outside lights to orange bulbs on the night before home games. By doing so, we create a vibrant sea of orange across the city, visible for miles around. It's a powerful way to showcase our pride as America’s Brightest Orange.

Hall of Fame Block Party

Join us for the Hall of Fame Block Party, a free, family-friendly event before every home game! The Block Party is the perfect way to kick off your game day experience, featuring a Kid Zone with inflatables and face painting, live music, sponsorship activations, and opportunities to meet our iconic horses, Bullet and BB. It's a vibrant celebration that brings the community together, offering something fun for fans of all ages before you go cheer on the Cowboys!
