Reportedly the OKC Thunder are considering a facelift if you will of Chesapeake Energy Arena. This is tied to the efforts in OKC of the Metropolitan Area Projects program (referred to as MAPS).
For those who aren’t from the area or unfamiliar, this is an ongoing project which has built up the city over the course of the past two decades.
This project was the original brainchild of Ron Norick, the Mayor of Oklahoma City in the 1990s. At the time OKC lost out on a bid for the United Airlines new maintenance facility which went to Indianapolis instead.
