Default Re: Another OKC article!!

HOTROD, you do make some good points. Here's some food for thought. Diehard hockey fans (the Blazers loyal) would definitely make the drive to Tulsa for an NHL game. Most casual NBA fans, probably would not, at least not more than once. If Tulsa barely supports their CHL compared to our team, I don't see them hosting the NHL until they build more momentum, hopefully after their new arena opens up and they see a similar resurgence in their downtown. Keep in mind, our downtown is still young and not a ton to do, but we're still light years ahead of Tulsa on the entertainment front. We still have a long way to go and Tulsa has further. I agree with you, if Tulsa wants to compete indirectly, they should go after a summer sport. I think both Tulsa and OKC could support MLS at the same time.
