Post by: Hoss on August 17, 2015, 01:08:53 pm
I found this interesting.  Tulsa ranks 4th on this list.

Makes me wonder how it would fare if they take it next season and factor in losing the Shock.  Maybe the addition of the Roughnecks will offset to some extent.

OKC's new slogan:  Big League City
Tulsa's new slogan:  Minor League City

Yep, I think we're catching up!

Tulsa should eclipse 1 million metro residents by 2017 at its current rate of growth.
