Wow! Very cool!

I plan on being there.  The energy level is real high and the game exciting when OKC is in town.

Talons won 75-56. Great game.

This would be a good reason to build the pre-defined BOK Center expansion. Add a "Talons Grill," office space for AF2, and conference space for related meetings.

I saw you there. You were the crazed fan wearing a helmet on backwards and screaming GO TALONS!.

Ha!

It was a good time.  About 7,000 people made it plenty loud.  Always good action.  And I was struck by 2 things:

1) After the game was over, the players came out and talked to the fan for about 30 minutes.  Very impressive.

2) Damn that is expensive.

When I went to buy tickets the cashiers first words were "the cheapest tickets are $35 before taxes and fees."  Apparently a good number of walk up business would just turn away when they heard the ticket prices.  If I had my boy with me, I might have too.

A buddy and I went to the Tallons game.  2 tickets:  $80.  Nachos: $15.  A few rounds of drinks: $45.  Not a cheap not out.

My wife took the dog and went to the Drillers game.  Probably spent $30 all in.

The Tallons games are fun, but too expensive for me to make them a habit.

I bought three tickets from a scalper for $40 total. There are usually scalpers over by the southwest entrance.

My son and his friend both got free t-shirts. My son caught one thrown by a cheerleader and his friend caught one thrown from Pizza Boy Blake.

I did shell out for a $4 snow cone and made the boys share.
