BOK Center

[Jeff P]

So next year we go in the shitter?  Seems like the demise of BOK was predicted for this year.  I guess it's still not enough time for the newness to wear off.

Oh, also heard today that Bassmasters will be here in Feb 2013 and using BOK and the convention center as well as Grand Lake.  Projected uptick to the tax base is $24 million.  Not that Bassmaster's trips my trigger but according to those numbers it could bring in the sort of money the Chili Bowl does even if it's not the same shear excitement level.

Yeah - the Bassmasters thing is a huge deal.

They're expecting 75,000-100,000 people to attend the various events.

We (hospitality industry) don't have much more info, but from what we know from the VisitTulsa we're projecting a much bigger bump than the NCAA.  This is definitely a big deal.

The BOK Center opened in 2008 and has hosted some of the biggest concerts in the U.S., with such acts as Lady Gaga, The Eagles, Paul McCartney, Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift and Nickelback.
