New Downtown Arena

[LordGerald]

Yes is going to win.

Now get pumped for the world class arena we’re about to embark on building.

Let's find some new words. The OKC Boulevard was supposed to be "world class." LOL

[April in the Plaza]

Meanwhile DC is losing both nba and nhl

Glad I won’t ever see that breaking news about okc

Lol. They are moving like 6 miles.

This one actually has a chance to be world class.

[gopokes88]

Her ideas are bad and lead to bad results in reality.

[David]

62% in and it's still holding steady at 70/30. Pretty massive vindication for the mayor.

Fortunately traffic engineers won’t be the driving force on this one lol

[gopokes88]

Lol. They are moving like 6 miles.

Truth but still a blow to DC, and point remains.

[JDSooners]

Now please don't put this on the myraid location!

It paycom is small, how is the new arena gonna be bigger better world class if you build it on top of a 50 year old underground parking garage?

[BoulderSooner]

Jobeth hitting up twitter already. Apparently she still thinks the billion dollars is going to billionaires still and doesn’t understand OKC owns the arena and rent income and the economic value this creates.

She really cannot stand others having different views then her and apparently can’t stand the heat that comes along with having such a differing view.

She didn’t have any political capital to lose. So what ever. But imagine being Nikki nice and burning up political capital to be against this and then having the vote 70-30. That is a big lol

Removing said parking garage would be a good start.

And obviously what they would do...

[jn1780]

So any prediction on the time-line? City officially announces old cox site within within 6 months? PS kicked our a year from now to start utilities work?

[BoulderSooner]

Truth but still a blow to DC, and point remains.

After no movement for months the dc mayor announced a plan for 500 mil in renovations if the teams stay

It is actually a world class road in terms of its engineering it’s a great road. But I know what you mean. It was never “supposed” to be a “world class” road in terms of what Friends for a Better Boulevard proposed or thought it should be. How on earth did anyone expect or think ODOT was going to build a road truly designed to foster a walkable urban environment on their own? That’s not a good example. People(on this board mainly) just reacted negatively to the design when it was released.

Honestly given the way it is now they either should went all the way to a freeway or a true European style urban boulevard. What we now is a half assed road built to go 60 but signed at 25. I’ve already received traffic citations on it because it feels like you’re going too slow at 25. To fix it will require pretty much significant changes to its width and the roundabout idea a former poster here presented was really cool.

lol. That entire site would be cleared. There would no longer be a parking garage.

[Jake]

Looking forward to arguing about the eventual renderings.

[Sean Kanaly]

Prarie Surf will get leveled, demo the underground parking and they would start from scratch. That's the location that makes the most sense.

[Plutonic Panda]

Great news!!! OKC voters know what’s up. Great job OKC. Now let’s see a site and renderings.

[gopokes88]

Similar to DC had we voted no the next plan would have been too little too late

[Tyson]

Looking forward to arguing about the eventual renderings.

It’ll be the best arguing ever.

We’re still 71/29 with 72% in.

[PhiAlpha]

The taxed people are speaking lol. In a polarizing political climate…just goes to show that people can all agree on something when they can easily see the value.

Pottawatomie County voting is cracking me up

[Teo9969]

3500.posts deep by the end of the night and we don't even know anything about the arena lol. This thread will be insane by the time we break ground in 2-3 years.
