## Parking

Paycom Center is in downtown Oklahoma City. OKC Streetcar stops nearby ($1). One of the most affordable arenas in the NBA for parking ($8-15). Bricktown entertainment district is walkable for pregame.

| Lot | Price | Distance | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Paycom Center Lots | $15 | 0.1-0.2 miles | Official lots at Paycom Center in downtown Oklahoma City. Very affordable. |
| Downtown OKC Garages | $8 | 0.2-0.4 miles | Multiple garages in downtown Oklahoma City. Budget-friendly city. |

### Getting here without a car

Not parking. These are transit fares, walks and drop-off points.

| Option | Cost | Distance | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Oklahoma City Streetcar / Spokies | $1 | 0.1 miles from stop | OKC Streetcar runs through downtown with stops near Paycom Center. $1 fare. Spokies bike share also available. |

### Parking tips

- Free street parking after 6 PM makes OKC one of the cheapest parking experiences in the NBA.
- The OKC Streetcar is free and stops near the arena. Park in Bricktown and ride.
- Even paid parking at $10-15 is a fraction of what coastal markets charge.
- Post-game traffic is light by NBA standards, OKC's downtown is easy to navigate.
- If driving from I-40 or I-35, follow signs to downtown / Bricktown.


## Seating

Paycom Center sells three ordinary rings plus a floor, and brands its upper sections Loud City after the crowd that fills them — Love's Loud City Balcony and Love's Loud City Mezzanine are the arena's own names for the cheap seats, not a nickname. The Club Level has its own entrance on the east side of the building and its own concourse; everyone else comes in through the main doors.

| Section | Price range | View | Pros | Cons |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Courtside / Floor Seats | $500 - $1,500+ | Floor level at the edge of the court, level with the players. | The Courtside Club behind these seats has three full-service bars, a wall of flat-screens and a large fireplace; In-seat food and beverage service, so you do not leave for the concourse | The most expensive seat in the building; Floor level flattens the play — you see bodies, not spacing |
| Lower Level Sideline (100-Level) | $120 - $275 |  | The best ordinary sightline in the arena; Close to the benches and the noise | The priciest ticket outside the floor and the clubs; Front rows cannot see the near baseline |
| Lower Level Baseline (100-Level) | $60 - $130 |  | Lower-bowl seats at roughly half the sideline price; The best angle on a jump shot | The far basket is a long way away; The near hoop and backboard sit in the way |
| Club Level (200-Level) | $60 - $175 | The middle ring, raised over the lower bowl with the full court in view. | Carpeted concourse, larger seats with cup holders and upscale restrooms; Its own entrance on the east side of the arena, and complimentary VIP parking; Personalised service from Guest Relations staff, plus the level's own restaurants and bars | Removed from the lower bowl's atmosphere; You are paying for the concourse as much as the seat |
| Love's Loud City Balcony | $15 - $45 | The highest sections in the building, looking down on the whole floor. | The cheapest way into a Thunder game; The part of the arena the Loud City name is about | As far from the floor as the building goes; Steep, with a climb from the concourse |
| Love's Loud City Mezzanine | $18 - $55 | The upper ring below the balcony, still high but a row of sections closer to the floor. | Nearly balcony prices for a noticeably shorter distance to the court; The full-court view that makes the upper deck worth taking | Still the upper bowl — no club access, no in-seat service; Sells out around the balcony on big nights |

## Getting There

Paycom Center names three ways in without a car — EMBARK buses, the OKC Streetcar and an airport shuttle from Will Rogers World — but publishes no stop for any of them, and no driving route either. What it does pin down precisely is the rideshare point: Second and Harvey, on the arena's west side.

**Driving.** The arena is at 100 W. Reno Ave in downtown Oklahoma City, with many lots and garages around it. No interstate route or exit is published; the page points to the city's own parking resources instead.

**Public transit.** EMBARK runs the bus network, the OKC Streetcar serves downtown, and a shuttle connects Will Rogers World Airport. The arena names no individual route and publishes no stop for any of them, so plan that leg from EMBARK's own map.

**Rideshare.** Uber/Lyft drop-off is on Reno Avenue, south side of the arena. OKC rideshare prices are very affordable. Post-game surge is minimal.

### Transit options

| Option | Price | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| OKC Streetcar (Downtown / Bricktown Loop) | $0 | Free streetcar circulating through downtown and Bricktown, stops near the arena |
| Rideshare (from Will Rogers World Airport) | $20 | Uber/Lyft, ~15 min from OKC airport |
| Rideshare (from Norman / Edmond) | $25 | Uber/Lyft, ~25 min from surrounding suburbs |

## Tailgating

Paycom Center sits at 100 W Reno Avenue, on the southwest corner of EK Gaylord and Reno, a short walk from Bricktown — and ASM Global does not own or manage any of the parking around it, which is why no tailgating policy exists to publish. Doors open 90 minutes before each Thunder home game. The bag rule is the strictest of any venue on this site: nothing larger than 6 by 9 by 2 inches, clear bags included, with every bag searched. The guide names what that excludes — a full-size basketball, a binder, or adult shoes you are not wearing — while a jersey or individual basketball cards are fine.

### Rules

- All bags are searched on entry. Bags smaller than 6" x 9" x 2" are allowed, and this includes clear bags.
- Jerseys and individual basketball cards may be brought in. Full-size basketballs, binders and adult shoes not being worn do not fit the policy.
- Arena doors open 90 minutes prior to the start of each Thunder home game.
- The arena is at 100 W Reno Ave., on the southwest corner of EK Gaylord and Reno Avenue, just off I-40 in downtown Oklahoma City.
- Rideshare pickup and drop-off is at Second and Harvey, on the west side of the arena.
- The Cox Center parking garage is reached by continuing north on EK Gaylord past Reno and turning left.
- ASM Global and Paycom Center do not own or manage any parking around the arena. City parking facilities can be reached on (405) 235-PARK or at parkingokc.com.
- The arena publishes no tailgating policy.


### Best areas

| Area | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Bricktown and downtown Oklahoma City | The arena is steps from the hotels, dining and entertainment of downtown and Bricktown, which is the pregame here — the arena runs no parking and holds no tailgate. |
| The Cox Center parking garage | Reached by continuing north on EK Gaylord past Reno Avenue and turning left. One of the named options among the downtown garages around the arena. |
| Rideshare pickup at Second and Harvey | The Uber and Lyft pickup and drop-off point, on the west side of the arena at Second and Harvey rather than at the doors. |
| Downtown city lots and garages | Many lots and garages sit around the arena in downtown Oklahoma City, none of them arena-managed. City facilities can be checked on (405) 235-PARK or at parkingokc.com. |

## Food & Drink

Paycom Center offers Oklahoma-inspired arena fare at prices that are very affordable by NBA standards. The Oklahoma onion burger, BBQ brisket, and local craft beer are the highlights. OKC's arena food is a good value. You won't feel gouged like at coastal arenas. Outside, Bricktown has a solid restaurant scene, and OKC's emerging food culture has been getting national attention.

## Game Day Timeline

Paycom Center sits in downtown Oklahoma City, a short walk from the Bricktown entertainment district. The Thunder have one of the most passionate fanbases in the NBA, 'Loud City' in the upper deck is legendary for its noise level. OKC's arena experience punches way above its weight as a small market. The pregame scene centers on the Bricktown bars, restaurants, and the Oklahoma City Riverwalk. Plan to arrive 60-90 minutes early to soak in the Bricktown atmosphere.

| Time | What happens | Detail |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 3 hours before tip-off | Arrive in Bricktown | Park near the arena or in Bricktown. Explore the Bricktown canal, restaurants, and entertainment venues. |
| 2 hours before tip-off | Pregame dining | Grab dinner at Toby Keith's I Love This Bar, Bricktown Brewery, or Cattlemen's Steakhouse. Oklahoma BBQ and onion burgers are the move. |
| 90 minutes before tip-off | Doors open | Enter the arena and explore the concourse. The Thunder team store is packed with blue and orange gear. |
| 30 minutes before tip-off | Find your seat | Settle in for the Thunder's electric intro, 'Thunderstruck' by AC/DC sets the tone. The arena fills early and loud. |
| Tip-off | Game time | Thunder games are LOUD. The fanbase is passionate and engaged from tip to buzzer. Loud City in the upper deck rivals any arena in the NBA. Total game time is about 2-2.5 hours. |
| Halftime | Halftime break | Hit the concourse for an Oklahoma onion burger or BBQ brisket. Lines move fast at this arena. |
| Post-game | Post-game scene | Walk to Bricktown for post-game bars and restaurants along the canal. OKC's downtown nightlife has grown significantly. |
