They're making it bigger so the rafters have more room for all them incoming banners. It's crazy how much larger it is than the Paycom

[u/dhejjrrjbrbrd → u/ZootSuitBanana]

The actual arena part will be a little more compact, although potentially taller. Less seating overall.

Most of the size increases are going to be in all the concession / walking areas, booths, player areas like locker room etc

[u/Hungry_Roll6848 → u/dhejjrrjbrbrd]

The arena as a whole will also be 22 feet taller than Paycom.

Crazy to believe this is going to be a full fledged arena in just what two, three years?

[u/Hungry_Roll6848 → u/quinnhughesbdaytwin]

Less than two years, actually! Supposed to be done by summer of 2028.

[u/quinnhughesbdaytwin → u/Hungry_Roll6848]

Even crazier man

[u/wcooper97 → u/quinnhughesbdaytwin]

Can't wait to be there opening night 2028!

So will this be the new OCCC?

[u/CRAZYxPHARMACST]

I didn’t realize it was literally right next to the paycom center

[u/wcooper97 → u/CRAZYxPHARMACST]

Yep, literally across the street lol. Kind of makes me sad that Paycom will likely get torn down.

[u/dhejjrrjbrbrd → u/wcooper97]

If they were smart and not money hungry they’d make it extra parking for the arena, but it’ll end up being some sort of new building eventually

[u/Hungry_Roll6848 → u/wcooper97]

Paycom is planned to get replaced by commercial developments (some renders make them look like high rises may go there, but we don’t know)

[u/NotMarkDaigneault]

They are hauling ass on this arena. Just a few weeks ago it was just dirt 🤣

As someone who doesn’t live in OKC I really appreciate these updates!

They have live camera feeds set up here: https://okcthunder.com/arena/#cam
