OKC Looking Forward As New Year Begins

Several new projects are coming to Oklahoma City in 2023, with a new multi-purpose stadium and new professional sports teams already lined up for the year.

In addition to new sports teams and stadiums, new technology at Will Rogers World Airport will speed up security lines, and new shopping centers and restaurants are coming to the terminal.

At the Oklahoma City Fairgrounds, officials plan to break ground on the new coliseum in the next month.

"We are in the process of mobilizing a construction company," Scott Munz, assistant general manager of public relations at the Oklahoma City Fairgrounds said. "The first thing that will happen is the front lobby will be taken off."

Experts said they believe the new building will add an additional 10% to the already $220 million economic impact.
