Estimated $500 million: We should have a grand convention center to compete with cities like Louisville, Raleigh & Memphis. City does seem to add more stems & pieces to this project.
Parking is necessary to finalize a deal with Omni Hotels for a $235.5 million, 600-room luxury hotel to serve as a headquarters hotel for the nearly $300 million convention center.--Oklahoman, Crum November 14, 2017
Oklahoma City 2016 population estimates: Metro 1,373,211, Urban 638,367
It will take $500 million to keep up with cities on our level (1.2 million+ metro & 450,000+ urban population); especially if we want to maintain an attractive convention center, arena & hotel equipped with parking & a sky walk to the 600 room Omni.
