The ownership group and the city are in a good position to dictate what both groups want in terms of the arena's design and amenities to make this NBA specific and more concourse space.

Paycom Center could be used more in conjunction with the new convention center and minor league ice hockey (?) to cater to groups in the 5,000 - 15,000 range.

The 4 square block site of Prairie Surf Media will save the city roughly $175 million in site acquisition and prep work--cost
for most new arenas just to lay the foundation.

OKC should aim to build a top five NBA facility on this site.

I would imagine the paycom would come down when the new area is built and they’d build some sort of “thunder alley” mixed use area with big screens and bars like ballpark village by Busch Stadium in St Louis or a small LA Live by Staples Center with some parking or something
