Oklahoma City Sports

Every destination has a story and Oklahoma City’s story is defined by an openness and enterprising nature. OKC is a young, down-to-earth city that’s steeped in Western heritage. And, with an all-new convention scene and sports venues on the rise, OKC offers the whole package for sporting events of all sizes.

Oklahoma City is home to NCAA Women’s College World Series, U.S. Olympic and Paralympic training facilities for rowing and canoe/kayak, plus marquee events such as the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon and collegiate and youth sports championships.

With new hotels, a brand-new downtown convention center with 340,000 square-feet of meeting space, a modern streetcar system, a 70-acre downtown park, a booming culinary and arts scene, and plenty of attractions within walking distance—there’s never been a better time to meet in OKC.

OKC offers a wide range of price points and amenities including 25 downtown hotels within walking distance of the Oklahoma City Convention Center and the Bricktown Entertainment District.
