You bring up a good point Rover. While Bricktown is the current entertainment option that makes the identified location most salable to convention planners, proximity to up and coming areas like Film Row an improved CBD and even reasonable closeness to Midtown and Automobile Alley (outside of the hard and fast 10 minute walkability bubble but closer than they would be to east Bricktown), plus nearness to Chesapeake Arena, MBG and Central Park, the art museum, the Memorial...ALL make this a superior location. Convention planners and convention-goers will be floored by what OKC has to offer.

Again, the overriding motivation in CC site location MUST be its walkable proximity to hotels and amenities. Otherwise, it will be incredibly difficult to book, and will be a humongous waste of taxpayer dollars. You want the boondoggle so many people predict? Start fiddling with the location.
