Ford Center (Oklahoma City)
The Ford Center is a multipurpose indoor sports/concert arena located in downtown Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The arena opened on June 8, 2002; three years after construction began. The 586,000-square-foot facility seats 19,675 on four seating levels and features 3,380 club seats, seven party suites and 49 private suites. Ford Center is owned by the city. Architecturally, Ford Center shares likeness with its brother stadium Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan. The venue's name comes from a naming rights deal with the Oklahoma Ford Dealers. It is located adjacent to Interstate 40 Crosstown's interchange with Robinson Avenue in downtown Oklahoma City, which is across the street from the Cox Convention Center. The Ford Center served as the temporary home for the New Orleans Hornets following Hurrican Katrina from 2005-2007.

I hope the Supersonics move to OKC. If any state in the nation deserved a pro sports team it would be Oklahoma. We have a big enough city for it, the market here is plenty strong enough to support a team. MOVE THE SUPERSONICS TO OKC PLEASE!! |

well, OKC might be a fine place for an NBA team but thinking you deserve them more than Seattle is a result of Bennett and your mayor along with that slanted rag of a paper all telling you false information about the situation. Seattle is an amazing basketball city, Just ask Barkley who said it was the toughest place he ever played or Bill Simmons who said we had the best fans in the 2005 playoffs.
Or ask Brandon Roy, Martell Webster, Jason Terry, Rodney Stuckey, Nate Robinson, Doug Christie, Aaron Brooks, Spencer Hawes, Jamal Crawford, Luke Ridnour, Detlef Schrempf and john Stockton. Or the 13,000 fans a game that attended DESPITE crooked owner's intent to move and the WORST RECORD in the franchise's 41 year history.
Nothing against OKC. But the Supersonics belong in SEATTLE!!! |

OKC didn't want it more. The owner Clay Bennett stole them. I hope they loose every game this year and every year ! OKC Thunder ... WTF, they are so stupid naming the team after the GS Warriors Mascot. lmao |

If Seattle wanted the Sonics to stay, the city and it's residents should have ponied up and built a new arena. |

Thats bull, maybe the NBA should force the NETS to build a new stadium / arena or they are going to move the team to Mississippi. The worst stadium in the league and no one goes to the games.
Nothing wrong with the Key, it is a pool excuse to move the team to OKC. |
