Building the Downtown Arena as a part of the original MAPS was pivotal in attracting major league professional sports to Oklahoma City. MAPS 4 will dedicate $116M to the renovation of Paycom Center, improvements to the practice facility on N Oklahoma Ave., and funding part of the new downtown arena project, approved by voters in December 2023. The goal is to provide transformative improvements that will enable Oklahoma City to continue to attract professional sporting events, as well as top-tier concerts and other entertainment offerings.
