OKC will always find something we must have or we will cease to exist. They are still trying to figure out why the National Finals Rodeo left OKC for Vegas in the 1970s. How long will it take OKC to recover the $950 million it will borrow to pay for the arena? I guess we will have to build the Thunder another multi million practice facility to go with the new arena too. The players have no team loyalty. The lineup changes every year. The teams have no city loyalty unless you shell out millions of dollars for a new arena every once in awhile. I don’t really have a dog in the hunt. I don’t follow basketball. I have never been in the “old” arena or even watched a Thunder game on TV. It matters little to me whether they stay or go. I didn’t vote at all. I just wonder what could be done for OKC with $950 million that really mattered. I go out of my way to spend as much of my money outside OKC as possible. They can stuff their penny.</p></blockquote><p></p>
