I love our team, if the Thunder stay competitive no matter the competition, get better (steadily improving wins), on a consistent basis (at least 3 consecutive years), I believe they may very well be as popular during the BB season as College Football. What I really hope as well is that the increased exposure will generate a desire to improve the CITY even more (Maps3). I think the Thunder can help do for OKC what Sports did for Indianapolis when it was known as "naptown", I was there and the downtown took off (new construction of hotels, museums, a canal w/boats, zoo remodeling etc) with the arrival of the colts, NASCAR (along with the 500), the NCAA HQ's move etc.
