I think it we can pack out B-ball games the way we do - we would have no problem selling out 8 football games. I would love to have a NFL team - I am tired of cheering for everyone else!

We don't have the business base and we're too close to Dallas.
yeah, in the NFL it isn't butts in seats its television. Same thing that seperates us and the lakers.
What are the only two words in the english dictionary that are better together than free beer?
TOUCHDOWN OKLAHOMA
quick answer: no.
It would be awesome, but it would never happen

The entertainment factor of Oklahoma City and Tulsa fighting over who should have a team after sufficiently bribing Jerry Jones and whoever owns the Chiefs now would be awesome.

Yeah, it appears to me that the Dallas Cowboys organization has substantial influence among the owners in the NFL and the Cowboys don't want an NFL franchise in Oklahoma or surrounding states. I think I read somewhere that the Cowboys accounted for about a quarter of all NFL merchandise sold, despite the recent crappy teams that went on the field. Whether they deserve the moniker "America's Team" or not, you can count on them trying to protect their cash cows in north Texas, Oklahoma and surrounding sports mad states.

If we raised the turnpike fees....I believe we could have 2.
We may sell out thunder games but that place has yet to be full when I've attended a game
Lightning is much more menacing than thunder and Rain can fill a stadium better than thunder. Thunder hits fast but quickly dissipates. More thought should have gone into naming them IMO.
I still like the OKC Wranglers

OKC WIndmills would have rawkd
the thunder name, the thunder colors and all that kick butt.
I think it's cool that the Thunder's best player adopted his last name from one of the towns in Oklahoma. That was a nice touch.

Green Bay is an odditty in major league sports. The Packers were established in 1919, a completely different economic era. It has taken them decades to achieve their status and economic stability - and don't forget they played home games in Milwaukee until 1995 to achieve that.
The NFL would never put a team in Green Bay today.
