Call it "New Oiler Park" and rebrand the ballclub as the Tulsa Oilers..... all that is new, is old again...

My two cents.

How about Westpaw Stadium?  The area around could be called the WePa district...

I know it's a trend to have corporate names, ala BOK Center, so we're probably looking at a QuikTrip Stadium, Williams Field, Reasors Ballpark or the like. Wonder if AA's interested, given the size of their workforce here - or if they only pour it into D/FW area?

That said, wouldn't it be nice to have a community (rather than corporate) name... Greenwood Ballpark, Unity Field, etc.

I withdraw the "NoGreen district" suggestion.

Make that the "SoGreen" or "MoGreen" district.

Taylor Stadium since she already wants to rename Tulsa to Taylor Town.  She thinks she is the CEO of the City.  Well the City is not a business!

Hmm.  I would have to disagree.  The city is a business.

I don't agree that she is actually running it like a business.  

If the city was run like a business then the main goals would be:

Increased profit
Reduced operating expenses
Employee efficiency
Client/customer satisfaction
Future market acquisition and positioning
Innovation/Research & Development
Facilities maintenance



Tulsa would do well with a CEO style mayor, not a salesman or PR spin-doctor.  
The problem is that CEO's make hard decisions that are at times unpopular, and as long as we live in a city where small groups can overpower logic, reason, and the will of a majority, we will be hard pressed to have this degree of leadership.

Didn't vote for her but I think she has done fairly well as a politician.  We are still very very far from hiring a CEO.  I would like to see that happen some day.

I have to agree.  I didn't vote for her either but I would now.  At least she's trying to get our city up to par with others.  People are so envious because she has money - what's evil about that?  At least her foundation gives away money to nonprofits etc.  People are really being unfair to her.

I'd love to, but the city is going to pay some designer thousands of dollars to brand the new ball park, and I wouldn't want to ruin it for them. [;)]
