Got to tour the new arena about two weeks ago.  Very nice facility.  The private boxes were particularly nice.  Will anyone please invite me to watch an event from one of the sky boxes, please?

From the people who gave us the tour and their comments, it was very obvious basketball has driven this entire facility, as well as the re-do on the current convention center.  I worry that basketball alone, particularly if the tournaments don't come here, will end up costing tax payers a fortune for an empty arena.

Some new pics. Its interesting to look at the original rendering and see the changes that were made. The west facing side of the building still looks nice. The south east side that you see from downtown is not as nice after the changes imo.

Hey...I got a question...if this center is so great, why hasn't "Coheed and Cambria" come to town to play there??


Well, it is a pretty good place...question remains - why?

Yeah...that's what I thought when I first heard of them.

Cains, or the Vanguard might be better venues choices  (think smaller, much smaller)

Heir, you realize you bumped a 5.5 year old thread, right?  Since we are here, who else got tix for Sir Paul?

They actually did play the BOK Center.  One of the opening acts for Slipknot.  I know, I was there...  I know it is important to have first knowledge around here.   ::)

Yep.  I wanted something that was exclusively BOK...


No Sir Paul.  Probably won't be around for it...  sadness.

I had heard they did some openings for Slipknot, but didn't know it was here, too.  There current concert schedule is mostly overseas, so probably won't be back anytime soon.  I just found out about them around Christmas time.  There seems to be a styling that reminds me a little bit of Rush, with maybe some Metallica mixed in for spice.

Were they any good?   ....did you like them?  If so, may have to check them out next trip to New Zealand....
