The BOK Center, or Bank of Oklahoma Center, is a 19,199-seat multi-purpose arena and a primary indoor sports and event venue in Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States. 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 $18 million in privately funded upgrades. Ground was broken on August 31, 2005, and a ribbon-cutting ceremony took place on August 30, 2008.
Designed by César 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. The arena is managed and operated by SMG and named for the Bank of Oklahoma, which purchased naming rights for $11 million. The two current permanent tenants are the Tulsa Oilers of the ECHL and the Tulsa Oilers of the Indoor Football League, both teams owned by Andy Scurto. The BOK Center was the former home of the Tulsa Shock of the Women's National Basketball Association and the Tulsa Talons of the Arena Football League.

Had a great time here. Staff was very welcoming and friendly. Really liked how they had a bar/beverage kiosk and bathrooms available directly at the back of the floor. Good looking place too...

Thank you all who are Attendants helping us find our way in this massive building-otherwise we might still be looking for the correct exit!! Good job BOK👍👍

Went here to see a rodeo championship. It was the thing to do while in Oklahoma. It did not disappoint. We had a good time. The seating in the stadium took some getting used to. Very steep stairs and seating. You were going to be touching elbows with whoever is on your right or left. The place was clean, including the restrooms. Didn't make it to a concession because honestly, I didn't want to deal with the steep stairs no more than I had to.
