Oklahoma City will soon have a professional basketball arena rather than an arena in which professional basketball can be played.

Afterward, Holt revealed a ballpark estimate of the new arena's capacity. He said it will likely be in the 17,000 range, a downgrade from Paycom Center's 18,203 number. The arena will be larger, though, by around 200,000 square feet.

Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt unveiled preliminary conceptual architectural renderings of the new Oklahoma City arena where the OKC Thunder will play its games to a sold-out audience attending his annual State of the City address on Wednesday.
