Scissortail Park

Yes, very generous of Love's.

OKC's largest private employer, Hobby Lobby, should take a lesson.

They're probably too busy stealing antiquities.

Didn't Hobby Lobby just recently donate land to Embark for public transit?

Probably the only way to get them to be more like Love's is if the park had a tabernacle.

Good for Tom and Judy Love. They are really stepping up their community sponsorships. They support the arts, rodeo events, OKCMOA, the Thunder, Scissortail Park, and others. We need more corporate citizens like them.

Thanks theanvil, you highlighted the support the Love's have given to the Oklahoma City community. Judy is visible at Thunder games with her enthusiastic support--just ask LeBron James.



The Love's travel stop off I-35 service road north between Edmond & Oklahoma City is a very nice, clean well-lighted place, a 24/7 beacon to welcome all travelers.

Tom & Judy Love are to be commended for their support of Oklahoma and their travel stops throughout the country. They have stepped up and given back to the community.

As for the yellow patch corporate sponsorship on Thunder uniforms, glad we have a patch ALL can see, the Love's Travel Stops & Country Stores put millions into the sponsorship of the patch, Thunder rewarded their efforts with a patch you can proudly see.

I still want Sonic to buy the naming rights to the arena and name it the SuperSonic Center.

ROTFLMAO. I wish I had thought of that.

Cheap shot. Hobby Lobby didn't buy the antiques with the dubious provenance, Steve Green did as a private citizen (and he didn't steal anything). You may not like him or them but they are paying quite a bit in property taxes, especially for their HQ and their stores generate a good deal of sales tax.

Carrie Underwood is here the 25th but then has another show in Nashville the 27th. She might be out for the opening act? Do we even think it will be a big time act?

It will be a big-time act but I belive Kings of Leon will be the headliner on the main Saturday night.

[kukblue1]

Kings of Leon have a show already scheduled for the 27th Probably not them

This is really the best they can do? I don't know much about Kings of Leon or how famous they really are, but this seems kind of blah. Is there a special connection with this band to Oklahoma?

Yes, they are from Oklahoma originally.

Here is a great story from the Gazette on them: https://www.okgazette.com/oklahoma/k...nt?oid=2980544

I kind of agree but but they are a good "mid range" act I would think meaning they would get a great crowd without having an over kill crowd. Meaning like I heard it can hold up to 15,000 I don't think the Kings of Leon could bring that many (i could be wrong) but they could come close. Where like a garth brooks would be over kill and bring in way more than 15,000

[Pete]

They last played Chesapeake in the fall of 2017, so they are a big act.

[jccouger]

Kings of Leon plus the excitement of opening the park will easily bring 15k

[Pete]

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if this was free or nearly free.

[jn1780]

Opening weekend and park is closed to taxpayers for a concert wouldn't go over too well so I'm sure it will be completely free.
