The Thunder will have a pre season game at Intrust Bank Arena in Wichita,but The Lockout might derail those plans!Good to see Wichita get a game,since OKC is the closest pro city and I even heard Wichita had a bigger Thunder fan base than Tulsa!Anyways here is the article and be sure to read the comments at the bottom.http://www.kansas.com/2011/08/19/1980264/nbas-okc-thunder-to-play-oct-17.html

Yeah I am only waiting on the announcement that the season has been cancelled. The sides are SO FAR apart I sadly do not see it getting resolved this season.

Great News! Let's hope the lockout doesn't affect this exhibition game. I'll be headed to Wichita to see the Thunder in the new Intrust Bank Arena and ride around downtown like they do on Peoria in Tulsa and 12th Street in Moore.

You're probably going to see a bigger crowd in Wichita than Tulsa, especially with former Kansas players (Collison & Aldrich) on the Thunder's roster and this being the first NBA game in their new arena.

I think this will only be Wichita's Second pre season game ever,with the other being at WSU's arena!Kansan's Love B-ball and with Nick and Cole playing it will surely draw a large crowd!

I'm really excited and hope it happens! I am a season ticket holder that just moved from downtown OKC to downtown Wichita for work. I already miss the Thunder and haven't even missed a game...
