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.

Tickets are expensive
by saccity1985 on 1/4/13Chesapeake Energy Arena - Oklahoma CityRating: 4 out of 5$50 for the nose bleed seats are crazy. A decent seat is $100+. I parked at the santa fe garage and it was a longer walk than I expected. The arena is really nice though, has a new feel to it, but the seats are small and not much leg room for me as i'm 6'1".

Always exciting to see an Oklahoma City Thunder game
Go Thunder
by BamBamSooners on 12/12/12Chesapeake Energy Arena - Oklahoma CityRating: 2 out of 5We drove down to okc...it took us 2 hrs...we got there when the doors opened. went down to watch them shoot. waited for autographs....none to be had. That was the only bummer. They didnt even care about the fans....they snuck out the other exit. The kids were super bummed. I spent a LOT of money. I am a teacher...a single father of 3 kids and it is hard for me to take my kids to the game.. .I can barely afford he gas and the parking....Great game though....just wish it was more kid friendly.
