It was a sad day for the Sooner state.
Like a Phoenix, OKC rose from the ashes. In 1993 OKC voters had approved a MAPS program to develop and renovate downtown OKC. I think they are into the 3rd MAPS progam.
Over the next 20 years the Civic Center was renovated, a minor league ballpark was built. Cox Center renovated with 13,0000 seating. Across the street from the Cox they built the Chesapeake Energy arena with 18,000 seats (home of the Thunder) Bricktown (the old buildings) were updated and filled with bars and restaurants. They cleaned up the river and made a mini River Walk.plus a bunch of other updates.
Quite a transformation.
