Oklahoma City Thunder History
The Oklahoma City Thunder were originally founded as the Seattle SuperSonics in 1967. The SuperSonics relocated to Oklahoma City in 2008 after qualifying for the NBA playoffs 22 times, winning their division six times, advancing to three NBA Finals, and winning the NBA Championship in 1979.
The Thunder are now the only major professional sports team in Oklahoma. After relocating to Oklahoma City, the Thunder qualified for their first playoffs in the 2009–10 season. During the 2010–11 season, they won their first division title and the following season they won their first Western Conference championship.
The 2011–12 season marked the team’s first appearance in the NBA Finals since 1996, but they have not yet won a championship since moving to Oklahoma City. The Oklahoma City Thunder's name comes from a reference to Oklahoma's location in Tornado Alley, and Oklahoma City being the home of the U.S. Army's 45th Infantry Division, which were known as the Thunderbirds.
The Thunder began their rebuilding process in 2019 after acquiring All-Star guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and drafting top prospects including Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren. The new era Thunder qualified for the 2023 play-in game and won their first matchup, but ultimately did not advance to the playoffs after falling to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Following the 2023–24 season, head coach Mark Daigneault won the league’s Coach of the Year Award.
The team won their first NBA Championship as the Thunder in 2025.

Oklahoma City Thunder at Paycom Center
The Thunder have played in the same arena since Oklahoma City acquired the franchise in 2008, but it underwent several name changes before settling on Chesapeake Energy Arena in 2011. In 2021, its name was changed to Paycom Center(Opens in new tab).
But the volume and rowdiness of that college atmosphere has carried over into Thunder games, giving the metro's arena and fanbase the nickname "Loud City.” OKC has also taken to color blocking its crowd, giving different sections different colored shirts, a practice that has spread and become common among all teams in the NBA.

Thunder always puts on a great showing. They are a fast growing team and Brooks has done a great job. Love to watch them.
We enjoyed every second of the game. We drove from Arkansas through the snow, ice and rain to celebrate my daughter's 13th birthday with this game. The one on one between Kobe and Duran was the cherry on top of the cake.
The OKC Thunder is amazing! OKC is an awesome location for a NBA Team! The Chesapeake Energy Arena is a great arena for the team!
I will never understand why the season ticket holders which have the best seats in the house continually do not show up to the games. This must be disheartening for the team to look around and see so many empty seats, yet Loud City is full but those people can't get seats because the big corporations have bought them all up. Sad situation for the true Thunder fan.
great place to see a game great atmosphere easy access
Great Arena. Easy to find and get around in. Good food and energy from fans! Will definatly be going to more games!
Not really a bad seat in that Arena. Even being in Loud City isn't all that bad.
The event was a packed house. I enjoyed my experience there. It was good game & good OKC Thunder win vs Clippers.
The atmosphere in the arena was good as always, S/O to the fans for coming out despite brutal artic air blast with involve changing winds, There is no a bad seat in the arena to watch a game. A fan won $20,000 hitting a half-court shot. Entertainment was good as always with Skyriders as the halftime show. The staff was friendly as always.
The whole Thunder basketball experience is great. Facility is good. Concessions are reasonably priced and the variety and quality is excellent.
Great game, seats were good as far as viewing, seats are very small
the game was a lot of fun and enjoyed the game food
Had a great time and customer service was great. Great people around us and great experience all around.
OKC is by far the greatest fan base ever! We love our team!
I drove all the way from Kansas city with 3 family members to see a NBA playoff game. It so happens that 2 members of my family favorite NBA basket ball team is Oklahoma City and the other 2 family member favorite NBA basketball team are the Memphis Grizzlies. We couldn't ask for a better game to see. The fans in Oklahoma City are great. Of course the atmosphere was really at a high level .
Greatly enjoyed game and related activities, Looking forward to seeing Thunder next year
Playoff games are awesome! Except for the whole Thunder-losing bit, that part sucked. But otherwise the atmosphere was great, the crowd was great, and it was a good game.
Thunder games are the best experience as the fan is treated very well!
Had fun but didn't have a good view. It was our first time going to a basketball game and I wish it would have been a better experience.
Thank you for providing continuous family style entertainment! We are so proud of all of you. Kevin Martin, I chose you to be my favorite because of your calm nature. But the truth is I don't have a favorite. I love you all the same. I just want KMART to know that we notice how you act. You seem so smart, so calm. However, Perk! I love your smile. Kevin Durant, The BEST! Always a gentleman. BEAUTIFUL IBAKA! OMG YOU ARE GEORGEOUS!, Russell, I miss you Darlin', I got to ride on that plane with you from LA about 1am headed back to OKC for the first practise after the negotiations were over and took your picture with the Stuard. You ate your McD's and I sang NORMAN to you. Hope you get well soon. Collison TOUGH DUDE! Love to watch you play, Thabo So glad to see you playing so well, Reggie OMG you are doing so good. Hasheem, HELLO UP THERE!
