Fill the Stadium has met at 9:30 p.m. every Wednesday since September to work on this event, Fill the Stadium creative co-lead Reagan Petersen wrote in an email to OU Daily. They did not receive approval to host the event in the stadium until February.
Pulse recently held a religious tour of universities in February that included Big 12 schools like Texas Tech University and Iowa State University.
Nick Hall, Pulse’s president, founded Pulse as a student at North Dakota State University in 2006. It organizes religious concerts, prayer sessions and sermons aimed at college students, according to its website.
Tickets are available to anyone and must be claimed in advance.
