The BOK Center, or Bank of Oklahoma Center, is a 19,100-seat multi-purpose arena and a primary indoor sports and event venue in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Designed to accommodate arena football, hockey, basketball, concerts, and similar events, the facility was built at a cost of $178 million in public funds and an additional $18 million in privately-funded upgrades. Ground was broken on August 31, 2005 and a ribbon cutting involving Tulsa musicians Garth Brooks and Hanson took place on August 30, 2008.[4] The arena's schedule of concerts and other events began on August 31 with a community choir hosted by Sam Harris.[5]

Designed by Cesar Pelli, the architect of the Petronas Towers in Malaysia, the BOK Center is the flagship project of Tulsa County's Vision 2025 long-range development initiative. Local firm, MATRIX Architects Engineers Planners, Inc, is the architect and engineer of record.[6] The arena is managed and operated by SMG and named for the Bank of Oklahoma, which purchased naming rights for $11 million.[7] Current permanent tenants are the Tulsa Oilers of the Central Hockey League, the Tulsa Talons of the Arena Football League, and the Tulsa Shock of the Women's National Basketball Association,[8] although the facility will host NBA preseason games and college basketball matchups on a regular basis and seek to attract national and regional sporting tournaments.
