Every destination has a story, and Oklahoma City’s story is defined by an openness and enterprising nature. OKC is a young, down-to-earth city that’s steeped in Western heritage. And, with an all-new convention scene and sports venues on the rise, OKC offers the whole package for sporting events of all sizes.
With new hotels, a downtown convention center with 340,000 square-feet of meeting space, a modern streetcar system, a 70-acre downtown park, a booming culinary and arts scene, and plenty of attractions within walking distance—there’s never been a better time to meet in OKC.
Looking ahead, Oklahoma City's sports landscape continues to expand with the upcoming Continental Coliseum scheduled to welcome the Oklahoma City Thunder beginning with the 2028-29 season, the new MAPS 4 Multipurpose Stadium opening in 2028 and the recently enhanced OG&E Coliseum at OKC Fair Park. Together, these investments are creating even more opportunities for events of every size.
As the City’s official destination marketing organization, Visit Oklahoma City can help you craft a first-class sporting event from the beginning logistics down to the last detail. Services include facilitating site visits, providing supplier and destination information and serving as a liaison between meeting planners and facility and hotel staff. In addition to planning assistance and local expertise, qualifying events may be eligible for support through the city's Event Sponsorship Program, funded through hotel tax revenues to help drive tourism and visitation.
