The 10 Best Arenas & Stadiums in Oklahoma, United States
With hundreds of man-made lakes, state parks, casinos, museums and nightlife and dining opportunities in revitalized downtown areas in Oklahoma City and Tulsa, there is a lot to see and do in the Sooner State. The state is dotted with phenomenal lakes where swimming, boating and bass fishing are the most desired activities. Some of the state’s most popular lakes include Broken Bow Lake located near the Quachita Mountains; Grand Lake in the northeastern corner of the state at the foothills of the Ozark Mountains and Lake Murray in the hills in the southern part of the state.
While the state is known for its many outdoor activities like great fishing, golf, hiking, canoeing and boating, make sure you don’t overlook its fantastic museums. Heading the list are Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, featuring the world’s largest collection of art and artifacts from the American West; the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, which tells the story of the American Cowboy; and the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, which has a permanent collection of American and European art. A venerable family favorite activity is Frontier City Amusement Park in Oklahoma City, which has dozens of rides and shows.

Mabee Center's 105,000 square-foot facility is designed to meet any capacity, accommodating events scaled from 1,274 to 11,300 seats. Whether the event calls for an intimate theater configuration, or an amplified round, the stage has been set to entertain a full house.

Mabee center is in the heart of the oral roberts campus property. The design is something to see. Not many building like it and you can find it easy as the oral roberts towers can be seen from all over tulsa. Its a convention center so you never know what may be going on here.

Nicely kept ball field with plenty to do in the local area surrounding it. Saw an OKC Dodgers game and was not disappointed. There are really no bad seats. Even the lawn section in the outfield has a nice view, not to mention there is a great play area for kids next to the lawn section to keep them entertained if they lose interest in the game.

I've attended many events at the Chesapeake Energy Arena throughout the years, and many for a Thunder game. However, this past season (2019-2020) I've made more of an effort to make it to the Peake for a game. As always, the staff is excellent, and the environment is full of excitement. With the help of the thunder drummers and the roars of the fans, it is easy to consider the Chesapeake Energy Arena, the heart of Oklahoma City. A day at the Peake is a day well spent, whether you are sitting courtside, club level or up in loud city. The experience may be different from the last, but all a good time! And as for the team, who was expected to flop in "rebuild" season, they are as fun as ever to watch. From blow-outs and back to back 20+ point comebacks to neck and neck games and cross-court baseball throws for a layup. This group plays team basketball, and they are definitely worth a trip to the Peake! Chris Paul shows great leadership on this team. Steven Adams is a crowd favorite as always. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has captured the hearts of Oklahoman's as a rising-star. Danilo Gallinari knocking down shots around the arch and Lu Dort starting this last stretch of games as a firecracker with Dennis Schroder coming off the bench as a contender for the Sixth Man of the Year to lead the bench players who, like the starting five are fantastic to watch. I quickly became a big thunder fan once this season started rolling.

We attended the Backstreet Boys concert at this venue. The venue itself is nice and big with plenty of space. Concessions are distributed all around so you're close to food and drinks no matter where you're sitting. The venue doesn't have it's own parking lot so if you're coming from out of town, you're forced to pay for parking in a private parking lot and, depending on how close you want to be to the venue, you'll be paying anywhere from $5 to $40 for parking. Fortunately for us, we stayed at a hotel that offered a complimentary shuttle to the center. The only complaint I have is that the seats aren't very big so you're stuck rubbing elbows with your neighbors.

Wear your best shoes! And you'll still have tired feet. I attended the Wanenmacher Gun Show and someone said there are more than six miles of aisles between the rows of vendor tables, but I am certain it had to be at least twice that! It was a real work-out. The building is an incredible venue for such an event. The parking is surprisingly convenient, although the entrance from 21st St is a bit of a bottleneck. I'll certainly be back next year.
