The lifestyle center has already been built. If students aren’t showing up, moving the venue 5 miles away from campus next to an old navy isn’t going to do student attendance any favors.
    So, you basically misunderstood the whole plan and reasons behind it. I doubt they could do much to make sour people have fun anyway. Hope you have fun in Stillwater.

    I understand what they sold the plan as. I also knew what it was always going to be. If you are disappointed you won’t be able to go to OU basketball games in a strip mall then I’m sorry. Maybe one day OU will sell off their beautiful historic campus and teach out of strip malls sandwiched between a panara bread and Office Depot. Hopefully Right off the interstate with ample parking for easy access. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you

    i will admit that i was okay with the arena being in UNP, because then i could have walked to games... but other than that. it was an awful idea and proposal... mainly because we have been sold with great looking images before for UNP and none of them have ever ended that way. fool me once.....

    Maybe if there were sites near campus corner, which is actually a ways from student housing too
    Parking lots at Brooks & Jenkins are the perfect spot - on-campus, walking distance to Campus Corner and student housing, near existing parking garages to disperse fans, can be used for university functions/events, etc

    To the north is a senior living complex that is under construction.

    To the south, there are a couple of small hotels planned and a little strip center along the main road.

    There are also plans for a new sports complex to be built between these two projects. The Young Family Athletic Center will be used for swim meets, volleyball, and basketball tournaments.

    Thanks. That is the one I was wondering about. Didn't realize it was immediately to the north of Embassy Suites. Saw new signs went up recently.

    Saw a permit was issued for hideaway to refinish the Zio's space. Looks like they have been working on it.

    This was where the upscale lifestyle center was going to be in the beginning. Not sure about now (but the Arena isn't going in this clearing).

    Holy cow, the homeless situation in Central Oklahoma is completely out of control.

    Seems to be getting worse by the day.
