I think people tend to get lost in their wishlists and loose perspective. Will the lack of public transportation hurt OKC's convention business, yes probably. Will it make it impossible for OKC to get conventions, no. Is it the number one thing holding OKC back from getting major conventions? Definitely not, especially considering the number of massive conventions that go to cities without any rail and little PT. Would a large convention come here instead of Vegas just because we had better PT? I kind of doubt it.
