I dont really understand how the hell this would be true, or where this idea even came from. What about Texas Rangers/Texas Longhorns.

You have a new arena and yet you don't even seat your TOP ENTERTAINMENT DRAW there?
Come on Tulsa guys, take care of YOUR house first - then worry about what others have. This is what OKC has done - and look at the benefits.

None of those D-league teams play in big arenas. They cant pay what is cost to use something like the BOK Arena. And surely that cant be Tulsa's top entertainment draw, nobody goes to those D-league games.
