BOK Center

Some wait a long time.

I saw Garth Brooks just announce shows at the BOK Center down in Tulsa, and they're like in the next six weeks.

So you know, that's, it's kind of a funny dynamic that Hilary Duff, 14 months, uh, you know, Garth Brooks, six weeks.

So-

Whoever's playing, whatever sport it may be, whenever there's a bedlam opportunity, I think people really rally behind it and go into it.

looking forward to that and that's what kind of speaking to how big it is over the last couple years we've played at the BOK Center in Tulsa last year there was about a 15,000 person attendance so that's what that was crazy and then the year prior prior to me coming here I want to say it was right in that range too probably 12 or 13,000 so that's what I mean if people are showing up for an ACHA game like that imagine what could happen if you push things to the next level and really took it seriously.

And now we're like, all right, well, let's see what can happen at that at Boone Pickens.

So that's definitely really, really unique opportunity.

Whether it's an arena, convention center, hotel, event venue, anywhere in the world, exceptional guest services are built long before the doors even open.
