Its the same old story. Who is better, OKC or Tulsa. I live in a suburb of OKC, but I've been between the two cities many many many times over the years, so I've had experience in both. For soccer, I would personally hope that if it went to Tulsa, that there would be somewhere better than Skelly. Its old and run down, and needs to be bulldozed. You won't see any renovation there until the Tulsa football quits sucking. The high school games in Tulsa have more fans there than the college. Not to mention that the field is not exactly what the MLS is looking for. The size just doesnt leave enough room for sidelines with that wall. Its just a football field, thats it. Professional soccer players wouldnt be happy there. There also isn't as much for a tourist to see in Tulsa. You've got gilcrease, and Philbrook, but if you aren't into the arts, there's not a lot to do. In OKC, the main problem is that its in Edmond. Its too far north of a central location for those anywhere other than north OKC. The same would be true if one was to go in Norman. Wantland stadium is really a piece of junk. What college has wooden stands for visitors? Our HS band always hated going there because the stands were so bad. But that's a mute point, because the renovation plan is awesome. It will be a premier sports venue and will definately be more appealing than Skelly. It is definately a nicer area with better hotels and restaurants, but again you would have to travel to OKC to do anything if you are a tourist. I'm not sure people are going to do that. The main problem here is that both venues are at schools. If either town is going to be serious about a plan, then they need to BULID a stadium. Thats why Harristown (or whatever) in NJ just got their MLS team. With MLS trying to shy away from football fields, using college football fields just isn't a good fit. You end up with 12 different teams using the same field. There is no personal feel to the stadium that way. Taft in OKC was the location of OKC last pro soccer team, but thats obviously not a good option anymore. Why not a new stadium south of the river in OKC? It would be right near Bricktown and the new Native American Center. Or maybe in west OKC just west of Meridian? In Tulsa, how about somewhere in East Tulsa. There are plenty fields out that way. Tulsa seems to be growing only in the east anyway. To OK fans of soccer. Don't hold your breath. Neither town has grown to a large enough pop. base to support real pro teams. All either has is minor league for hockey, football, baseball, etc. Until one of the towns can support a full pro football team, there is no hope for a mls team. Its just a matter of population. So for you Tulsans, since OKC is bigger by a large margin, you'll have to sit back and wait and see if OKC can handle it. If not, then there's no hope for Tulsa.
