The Paycom Center will remain fully active as the home of the Oklahoma City Thunder and a host venue for major entertainment events until the brand-new arena officially opens its doors. Once the state-of-the-art downtown facility is completed, city officials and community leaders will evaluate future multi-use municipal options for the legacy building, ensuring downtown Oklahoma City continues to thrive as a vibrant entertainment hub. The transition ensures a seamless continuation of top-tier sports and concert entertainment without any operational downtime for the city's booming cultural landscape.
