The LFL is coming to OKC

[Steve]

No word on whether the mayor is seeking $7 million to get the league started in OKC.

Great! Something new to be proud of!

[okclee]

Now this would definitely make us a "BIG League City"!!

Also I would like to offer up my house for the venue.

I caught a few minutes of one of these games on MTV the other night. It wasn't bad. While uniforms are not very big, they are on pretty good. The ball could probably be smaller because it look a little big for the QBs hand.

[HOT ROD]

two thumbs up.

[Dustin]

Ohhh yessssss!!!!!!!!!!!!

[circuitboard]

as a gay man, the uniforms are cute, and I welcome this to the city.

[betts]

How about the UFL? That's what I'd like to see here.

Just gotta love this comment "I am thinking this could cause us to consider another State Question for 2012."

I think its going to be great to have it here, but I wonder where they will play at, I told my stepbrother about it and he is excited.

Lucasfilm Ltd.?

Finally somewhere else to take the wife for a romantic night out instead of the melting pot

[OKCisOK4me]

In full support of Women's Sports as well--a civic duty in my opinion...Title IX stuff...

[okclee]

Another victim to family values

[Dustin]

"It is unfortunate that one individual can dictate what an entire city can deem as entertainment or not. Apparently Mayor Cornett wants to take away the basic freedom of individuals to chose to attend a sporting event or not. Has Mayor Cornett actually been to an LFL game or watched a game on MTV2? My guess is no. He does not understand that LFL football is played by educated former college athletes that come from all walks of life which include doctors, lawyers, teachers, military personnel etc. Nor does Mayor Cornett understand the revenue and jobs LFL football coming into town would represent, but perhaps Oklahoma City does not need more jobs or revenue.

Oklahomans should be provided the opportunity to chose for themselves and not dictated to. I thought our plans were for expansion into Oklahoma City, not North Korea."

OUCH!

[Kerry]

I think Cornett missed the boat on this one. Women in the LFL are wearing more clothes than most girls do at swim meets or beach volleyball. I think he got caught up by the name. Of course, every possible venue belongs to the City. I guess OKC won't be hosting any Big XII track meets either.





Thunder dance squad - how did that get in there?

[theparkman81]

Well that sucks, well heres what i think, i think that mayor cornett should resign, I'm sorry, I actually like this guy, but after this, I just don't care for him anymore, this is got to be a big blow for OKC.
