I hope in 10 years we see photos of the current arena/park/omni area and are even more wowed by the transformation with the new arena, the growing landscape of the park and potential developments on...

Giant projector on the Scissortail stage would be cool. Or one of those giant TV trucks in Midtown (similar to the McNellie's St. Patrick's Day setup). Or Skinny Slims' world cup setup in the...

I hope they don't leave out spirits. Total Wine's whisky selection is top notch in other states.

Is his PR firm promoting the Boardwalk development? If so, that needs to be disclosed in the op-ed. If not, why write this piece?

Or when they release updated renderings next week with a spire on top of the office building

OKC Zoo Amphitheater announces new management, 2024 summer lineup coming soon:...

Midtown can become really special if we keep seeing projects like this. Love to see it.

Both KFOR and Fox 25 have reported on something I hadn't noticed.... the Zoo Amp has announced ZERO concerts for 2024.

Website is down. Phone line is dead.

Complain about injuries/bid stealers all you want, but this was a very "on brand" season for the Sooners.

OU has been "on the bubble" at best every Selection Sunday since the 2016 Final Four team...

Redhawks (last used in 2014), Dodgers (2015-2023), "OKC Baseball Club" (2024) + the new name (2025 >)

I get the rebrand. What I don't understand is the one-year temporary rebrand to OKC Baseball Club. Why not just go by Dodgers for one more year??

-demolish Paycom Center and build a...
