I say, good luck to Tulsa - but it will be difficult.
I can see people in Tulsa going to Oklahoma City to see the Thunder but I don't see many people in OKC going to Tulsa to see the WNBA. That is not a knock or anything, it's just my opinion.
But yeah, maybe OKC and Tulsa could share the team and have it affiliated with the Thunder. ?? Make it a 'state team' and it might work. Maybe if they can heavily promote the team and get some key stars and promote it as a lower cost major league alternative. ?? Maybe if Courtney Paris and other OU/OSU/TU/OCU girls can 'stay home' and play there - it might work.
I must be honest, I think it is a little weird that OKC investors are trying for the WNBA in Tulsa (you'd think they would do it in OKC or would have kept the Storm and moved them down - wouldn't that have been easier.....).
But oh well, I know Tulsa wants something and I know those investors want to capitalize on BOK - but unfortunately for Tulsa, OKC is making a big move and is making it very difficult for them. I just don't realistically see anything filling BOK other than concerts - maybe Tulsa should just focus on and capitalize on that - grab every national act touring concert. ....
But hey - if they can do it; good luck and congratulations to Tulsa. If successful, it might further raise the national awareness of Oklahoma.
Oh, the Drillers/Driller Stadium is AA baseball (not AAA).
