About Oklahoma City Convention Center
The Oklahoma City Convention Center sits at 100 Mick Cornett Dr in downtown Oklahoma City, a historic hub for major events since its opening in 1972 as the Myriad Convention Center. Over the years it has carried names like Cox Convention Center and Prairie Surf Studios, with a current redevelopment underway to make way for the Paycom Center arena. This venue page covers what to expect when you visit, from seating configurations and parking to transit options and nearby hotels and dining. Whether you’re catching a NCAA early-round game, a Big 12 tournament, a UFC event, or a concert, we’ve got you covered with practical details to help you secure your seats and plan your day confidently.
Important notes: The roof and some structural elements have been demolished in phases during 2025–2026 as the site transitions toward the Paycom Center opening targeted around 2028. Streetcar access remains a convenient option, with parking receipts usable as a free Streetcar pass for two people for the day. For the latest event schedule and venue updates, keep an eye on our listings and follow official channels for the artist and venue announcements.
