John Smith Wrestling Facility

planned

Oklahoma State University is constructing a new wrestling facility named after John Smith, a legendary wrestler and coach. The facility will be located on the north side of Gallagher-Iba Arena and will feature a 16,000-square-foot practice gym with six mats, a dedicated training area, grandstand seating, a 2,000-square-foot coaches' locker room, and a landscaped plaza. The total area is expected to be 62,000 square feet. The project was approved by the Oklahoma A&M Board of Regents in December 2025, with construction to begin once all private funding of up to $16 million is secured.
