Question about banner on this forum

[sabasushi]

Hiya...I have a question about one of the banners being displayed near the top of the pages here. Since the banner revolves, you might not be able to see the specific banner I'm referring to, but here it goes. It shows a photo of what looks like an interior shot of a stadium with a bunch of men wearing hard hats off to the left side, and the blurb on it reads "Get Inside Tulsa with tulsanOw.org" Is this the stadium the old Pavillion at Tulsa's fairgrounds? And what's the story with the men in hard hats? Thanks,

Looks like the BOK center to me, and one of the public tours that was given.

Ding ding ding!

TulsaNow had a special guided tour of the facility for anyone that showed up.  Actually had 2.  But anyway, about 20 people from TulsaNow showed up and got a guided tour as they were constructing it around us.  

TulsaNow is more than just a forum.  I think that's the point.

Ah, okay...so that's the new stadium. It does look like it, based on the googling I did. Thank you for your quick reply.

By the way, is the old Pavillion still around? Does it ever get used at all?

I have a ton of photos I took from during the construction to now (I have season tix to our horrible hockey team).

This collection is pretty much during construction and right up to opening.

And this one is since opening and mostly interior shots during hockey games.

And this is a Flickr group dedicated to the BOK Center.  Some members here have photos on them.
