ABOUT THE THEME

To honor the 10th anniversary of the BOK Center, this Fiscal Year 2017 budget is dedicated to the multi-purpose arena that was funded through Vision 2025.

When city leaders asked for visionary projects from Tulsa citizens, an arena that could book top national talent and tournaments was the first priority. The BOK Center anchored the Vision 2025 program, and stabilized downtown where it is now the center of the arena district and a catalyst for other private and public investments to take place.

Music has always had a rich history in Tulsa, from blues to jazz to the Tulsa Sound created by native Leon Russell and a host of other musicians who wandered in and out of the city playing gigs locally and nationally. The opening of the BOK Center added a new dimension to the music scene, attracting some of the country’s largest acts and becoming a three-time “Venue of the Year” candidate after only a few months of operation. Some of those notable acts include , Paul McCartney, , , the Eagles, , as well as major national events including the Bass Master Classic and Professional Bull Riding. The arena is home to the hockey team. At 19,199 seats, the size of the arena made it possible to attract the NCAA regional finals.

Vision 2025 funding of $178 million was enhanced by challenge grants of $18 million from the private sector. Tulsans wanted an arena that would stand out in its iconic design. International architect Cesar Pelli was chosen to head the design team, working with local architectural and engineering firms. Pelli was well known for the design of the Petronas Tower in Malaysia. The BOK Center design embodies Tulsa’s indomitable spirit. Its vast, swirling ribbons of glass and steel serve as a shining tribute to ’s landscape and history. Mr. Pelli took his inspiration from our Arkansas River, our art deco buildings and our Native American heritage. The iconic glass wall, made of 1,600 individual pieces of glass, sets this arena apart and makes it instantly recognizable.

The BOK Center has been a vital tool in creating a better quality of life for Tulsa, as well as an engine for economic impact, bringing in more than $900 million during its first decade of operation. The BOK Center is just the beginning. Through the Vision Tulsa program, continued improvements to the Cox Business Center and the Arkansas River will bring a new enthusiasm for the Tulsa market, and continue to propel Tulsa’s competitive edge.
