    Re: Convention Center

    This is a no-brainer to me. Keep up with the "Jones's" and raise the tax a little to still be lower than most cities in the region but get a big boost to promote OKC.

    The ONLY issue I have is with...

    Re: Boardwalk at Bricktown / Dream Hotel

    Pete, I believe it was in the OKC Planning meeting where the developer mentioned the FAA status.

    Re: Paycom Center (formerly Chesapeake Arena)

    I just think once OKC has the stadium and the team back playing, that it would be fast tracked - kind of like a 'darling child' of sports if you will, in the way that OKC is now often mentioned in...

    oh, that's a bummer on the theatre. Just imagine if a dinner-style theatre experience was available at OAK. OMG.

    As for the retail expansion, I'd imagine AF and all of the other 'mainstream...

    As for the FAA, the developer said they were around 71% complete at the time of the OKC planning meeting that approved removing height restrictions for the site.

    My question is when city hall...

    Re: Boardwalk at Bricktown / Dream Hotel

    I'd love to see this move to the REHCO lands, with the three towers moving up to 450' and the Legends Tower going up to 1000'. This is more reasonable to me in terms of location and height...

    Re: Paycom Center (formerly Chesapeake Arena)

    Me personally, I think NFL should be OKC's third team - after OKC reaches 2 million metro and gets MLS within a few years. That's probably the limit for OKC and major professional sports, esp if the...

    Re: Paycom Center (formerly Chesapeake Arena)

    Im not so sure about that. OKC was 1.2 million metro when the Thunder came and it had a 'trial run' with the New Orleans Oklahoma City Hornets to get noticed. I think Tulsa becomes viable once they...

    I wsa referring to Pete's pics. I totally agree with you re the WSJ; they just want to continue the narrative - photographer/author likely didn't bother coming to OKC.

    This is why I said people are 'surprised' when they come to actually visit OKC. The media, even local, seems to portray OKC as smaller than it is nor not having attractions of the largest city in its...

    As to the concrete, what's taking them so long? OKC Thunder was going to be in the playoffs, since at least February.

    Not sure why wait until April to start preparing the area. ?.

    Love the Paycom banner pic. Remember when the arena was expanded, they used KD's pic there.

    Nice to see the TEAM recognized and promoted.
