Barry, Bud and Bennie got a new home Wednesday.

The statues of legendary Oklahoma coaches Barry Switzer, Bud Wilkinson and Bennie Owen were moved to the courtyard outside the south end zone of Gaylord Family - Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.

The move was announced back in February. The statues had previously stood across the street on Jenkins Avenue, just south of the Heisman Park statues.

The Switzer and Wilkinson statues sit on the east side, while the Owen statue is on the west side, with a space open for the statue of Bob Stoops to join it. 

The Stoops statue will be unveiled on April 13 — the day before the Sooners' annual Spring Game — at an event honoring Stoops.
