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.

Great atmosphere with lots of energy and music. I love basketball so I would prefer to sit closer to the action next time...my $10 tickets (section 329, Row N) left me 5 rows down from the highest seat in the arena which is a little too steep and dark for my taste. I know better now and will splurge for better seats next time. All and all it was a great event and I would recommend it to anyone.
The venue was great. There is lots of talent on both teams. We had good seats. The event staff was very pleasant. I was ashamed of the fans. I don't know when it became acceptable to boo the other team. That's just rude!
Awesome! Close game, playoff atmosphere, overtime and the lakers won!!! The OKC fans really impressed me. The Ford Center was rocking!!!
This was my first time to a live sporting event in about 12 years, and man was it an exciting one. I will be visiting Ticket Master for more Thunder tickets through out this season. Man did both teams really put on a show. Even thought I'm a Philly born and raised all Philly Teams Fan, now that I'm living in Oklahoma, I'm starting to like the OKC Thunder. Great game last night.
as evident from the scoring, the game was terific. However, for what I paid for the ticket, I was dissapointed. although we were on the floor on second row, we were at the end and cold not see much
OUTSTANDING GAME...OVER THE TOP CROWD NOISE.....LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THE CLIPPERS NEXT WEEK.
I bought the cheap tickets up top so I didn't know what to expect. It was really good for me and my 3 year old son. Not to bad of seats for the price. The bottled water is outrageous but thats expected I guess. I would highly recommend for a night out with the children!!
Attended this game with two friends and we had a great time,game went into overtime and the only thing that would have made it better is if the Thunder had won.. Though we were in the upper section for this game it was still easy to follow the game I have never had a bad seat at this venue..
I must admit the Thunder was bringing their A game to the Lakers they better watch out next game we coming with a vengence...LA
The facility was awesome. The workers there were very friendly, helpful and efficient. We were in the will call lane and there were workers directing us to other lanes to free our lane up and make it go faster. Once thru will call and making our way in the door, same thing. They opened up another door way to go into to break up the congestion. Up the escalators we went and at the top was a pep squad getting us fired up for the game. We sit in section 309 3rd row from the top and we felt that we had great seats. Music played the whole time. The game between the Lakers and the Thunder was so close and we only lost by three points, but I would go again and again.
The whole time i was standing up the seats were good no matter where you were.
The Thunder vs. Lakers game was great. I am so proud of the Thunder for doing so well and taking the Lakers to overtime. The Ford Center was a great venue and the entire night was great!
Had an awesome time. Loved the action. Thunder is playing hard this season.
I thought the game was FANTASTIC! The Thunder did a good job keeping up with the Lakers, I'll give them that. But WE ARE CHAMPIONS!! THE LAKERS RULE!!!!!! -GOOD JOB MY LAKERS!
awesome game! so glad the season has started! can't get enough!
I loved everything about the Ford center ! The Thunder put on a great show !
The game was awesome I use to live in Sac so it was bitter/sweet for me. I really enjoyed the half-time performance by Srings....you should have that song thunder they played into your game format!! Love ya KD
It was a great experience the Ford Centers rennovations are amazing and I would definitely reccomend this to anybody that will listen
The game was awesome! It was the season openeer and we won. I think its greatly inportant for everyone to go and experience the Thunder. Its awesome to have a NBA team here in Oklahoma and we need to support and show them that we want them to stay. The Ford Center did alot of upgrades over the sumer and the new jumbo screen is awesome.
