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.

I have been to several Thunder games throughout the regular season but this was my first playoff game and it was much louder and more exciting than regular season. Every fan in the stadium was standing up cheering, it was a great experience.
It was a great time out with friends and family. It was a good game would have been better if the Thunder would have won the game.
We had such a great time. The game (Round 2 game 1) of playoffs was awesome! We would definately go back. I hope to score more playoff tickets !
Best NBA game I've ever been to! The Thunder and its sponsors treats it fans great with superb athletes, free shirts, and entertaining games
Great MBA game close and finished well. Great example of family fun for all ages!!!
One of the best games I've ever been to. KD=KID CLUTCH
Unbelievable game by the Thunder! Seats weren't the best. From my seat I couldn't see the scoreboard.
Loved it! I was in the nosebleed section but was still colse enough to feel involved in the game.
I am always so impressed with the hospitality at the Thunder games - every single person from security, food service, ushers, etc. seems to be enjoying what they do and they seem to be interested in making sure everyone has a positive experience.
Awesome... First time attending Thunder game..everything was great
Another amazing time at the Peak. Crowd was good as usual, and the opportunity to see one of the greatest players in the world is the best thing going in OKC. Great time, amazing seats, and a great game
Thunder Up! Watching your favorite team win a playoffs game was amazing!
One of the best games ever. Happy to be a part of the crowd and to enjoy the Thinder for a reasonable price.
Had a great time with my wife and daughter. Not a bad seat in the house.
Good seat, good game, good team. Good venue, good fans..good win...what more can one ask for?
Awesome arena in an amazing city! It's nice that everything you could ask for is just a 5 minute walk away
Great game. Clean facility. Helpful staff. We had an awesome experience. Well worth every penny spent!
The game was amazing. The arena was awesome. This was my first playoff experience, and it certainly didn't disappoint. The arena was clean, well staffed and LOUD! You could feel the energy and the electricity bouncing between the fans and the players. I will never forget this experience, and hope to have the opportunity to do it again.
It was a playoff-type atmosphere on a Thursday Night. The thunder came out strong from the beginning and was consistent throughout the game. The entertainment was very good with the Thunder Drummers, Thunder Girls and a half-time performance from Hanson... The arena staff was excellent as always. If you are in Oklahoma and haven't been to a Thunder game, you should go everything is first -class from the organization to the Arena Staff. Thunder UP!!! O-K-C!! O-K-C!! O-K-C !!!
I had a great time at the game! The seats were great and staff was great and very helpful!
