With the resurgence of Cowboy football, sparked by the 2001 victory over the [[Oklahoma Sooners]] in the annual [[Bedlam Series]] game and the subsequent 2002 [[Houston Bowl]] season, interest grew for a major overhaul of Lewis Field. An ambitious fund-raising project for the renovation dubbed "The Next Level" became the flagship effort of the Oklahoma State athletic department.
