The new home for OU basketball will finally break ground soon.
It was announced on Thursday that the Rainier Company, which was hired to build a new Rock Creek Entertainment district, will officially break ground on May 12. OU and the city announced in 2024 their intentions of building a $1.2 billion entertainment district in Rock Creek that would include a nearly $330 million arena, which would succeed the Lloyd Noble Center. Since then, both the school and the city have been involved in multiple legal battles.
