Steel going up at the BOK Center

[Chris]

What do you guys think are the chances of some other company wanting to buy out naming rights once they see it finished?

The only other company capable would be Quik Trip, as far as I could imagine.

I want Mack Trucks or Mac Tools to have naming rights to the arena.

Then we could call it the Mac Arena.

We already have the dance.

I noticed the've started placing the stainless steel tiles on the exterior the other day.  There are about 10 tiles in place on the southside of the arena.  Very cool!

I was under the impression that BOk had a contract to hold the naming rights for a number of years, but I could be wrong.

That should be a test panel installed for approval of the appearance and installation method prior to beginning the bulk of the work, it id due to be done about now...

I drove by to check it out and never saw any stainless [] Pretty sure I drove completely around it, too...

Yeah, I didn't see it either, on the south side at least.

I think the panels are on the east side.  But you can't see the finish on them.  They still have a wrapper on them covering the finish.

I have a set of photos here:
BOK Center construction

A few examples from the set (larger versions are available at the link above):

There are stainless panels installed on the northside. Saw them yesterday.

Dang it, I always miss them somehow!  Tonight I drove past the west side, after having driven by the east side and not seeing any...

Are they playing musical chairs with the stainless???  I want to see it!

The east side is almost completely covered in the panels.  But they don't exactly look like stainless; I think they have some kind of protective covering on them.
