Anyway, they're going to build what (and where) they want so my opinion is just that.
Let’s not kid ourselves. It’s a multi-purpose arena being built primarily with OU Basketball in mind. Also 8,000 seats for basketball is less than it would seat for concerts (depending on the stage set up). Any concerts for 12k people would just go to Paycom or the state of the art new arena we’re about to build, just as they go to BOK in Tulsa. I don’t think the city is missing out on concerts because of the lack of a 12k seat venue.
