Home court to the NBA’s Oklahoma City Thunder & venue for big-name concert acts & events.

Whether it’s the action of an NBA basketball game or the excitement of a live concert or world-class event, more than one million guests create memories each year at Paycom Center.

Paycom Center (100 W. Reno Ave., Oklahoma City, OK 73102) is conveniently located just off Interstate 40 in downtown Oklahoma City, which continues to rank among the strongest-performing metros. The facility is owned by the City of Oklahoma City and managed by ASM Global.

After breaking ground in the Spring of 1999, construction began on the new downtown arena funded by MAPS, Oklahoma City’s visionary capital improvement program to finance new and upgraded sports, entertainment, cultural and convention facilities with a one-cent sales tax. The 581,000-square-foot facility was designed to meet National Hockey League requirements. The state-of-the-art venue was completed at a cost of $89.2 million and opened its doors on June 8, 2002. The Grand Opening Celebration included a dedication ceremony led by former Oklahoma City Mayor Kirk Humphreys, as well as a special “Open House” event for the entire community.

Paycom Center is owned by the City of Oklahoma City and managed by ASM Global.
