The two most significant changes to the arena are a new, more giant scoreboard and different seats. The scoreboard weighs 28,000 pounds, is 24.5 feet tall and 125 feet around.
This comes two months after OKC Mayor David Holt updated the public on a potential new arena plan that would secure the Thunder’s future in OKC for the foreseeable future.
When/if a new arena is approved later this year, it will still take several years for it to be built and host Thunder games. Until then, Paycom Center will remain the home of the Thunder.
Let’s look at some of the best photos that showcased Paycom Center’s latest upgrades.
