5020 N Washington St, Stillwater, OK is a closer address.
The old entrance road is now used (in part) by Patriot Storage which shares the same address. You can still see the remainder of the old entrance road as it stretches to what is now a housing edition.

The property is now occupied by a housing edition. The only remaining item from the drive in is part of the entrance road that sits between the housing edition and a gas station.
Boxoffice, Sept. 30, 1968: “STILLWATER, OKLA. - Video Independent Theatres opened its new 177 North Drive-In on Highway 177 north of town on September 5. The ozoner has a 428-car capacity and the very latest in equipment. Video also operates three conventional theatres here, the Leachman, Aggie and Campus, and another drive-in, the East 6th Street. Paul Gay is city manager for the circuit. There was another drive-in, the Moonlite, also operated by Video and located within the city limits, but which has been dismantled.”
Note: The sports complex is actually NE of where the theater stood next to the dam.
A more accurate address for this theater is 5020 N Washington St, Stillwater, OK 74075. This points directly to the entrance road. The entrance is now the entrance road for Patriot Storage. The residences west of the storage center are where the actual drive in itself stood.
Please update.
