Bruno, What do you think you are doing posting irrefutable facts that BOK is a viable entertainment venue we've needed for some time.  What will the normal Tulsacrappers think when they read this????  For shame, you have ruined their day.

Hello Bruno...I've missed your foil hat goodness.

We've gone to many BOKcenter events. We have seen the Eagles, Bruce, Carrie Underwood, Circ de solie, the circus, the Oilers, and the Talons. I also work nearby and see the big crowds there early looking for someplace to eat before and get a drink after.

The arena is working. Let's hope that part of downtown can capitalize on the new crowds.

I'm hoping this causes a lot of people nationwide say "w.t.f is tulsa?"

Too bad we couldn't add to the article "The BOK Center is located 3 blocks away from any hotel space and while there are some hotels nearby, they are still wanting for major hotel development in the area and the city is offering land adjacent to the BOK Center for dirt cheap prices to anyone who will build it."

While I like the existing spaces being developed, I would still love to see at least one BIG hotel come to town and plop down adjacent to the BOK Center.

it's still an ugly building.  Glad to see that it's doing well despite this shortcoming though lol
