With the support we have for OU football, I'm also surprised we don't have an NFL team. We could definitely support one. MLB team I'm not sure. There's just not the love for baseball here as there is for football.

Echoing what others have said, had Seattle built the team a new arena, Clay wouldn't have moved the team. Would've been a financial cow for him to resale the team and keep them in Seattle. Clay loves OKC but he also loves turning profits.
