Chesapeake Enery Arena

The Chesapeake Energy Arena just before the Oklahoma NBA team the Thunder take to the court.

The Chesapeake Energy Arena is the home of the Oklahoma City Thunder, an NBA team. The arena was originally known as the Ford Center from 2002-2010. This building made a lasting impact on me as it was the first place that I saw a professional sports team play when the New Orleans Hornets came to OKC following Hurricane Katrina. I attended many games while the Hornets where here in Oklahoma and became a season ticket holder when the Seattle SuperSonics relocated to OKC. I have spent many nights watching the stars of the Thunder such as Kevin Durant, Russel Westbrook, James Harden, and Serge Ibaka. Every time I drive by the arena I remember all of the events that I witnessed there from amazing wins to devastating losses. It truly is one of my favorite places to be in OKC because of the adrenaline of tens of thousands of fans cheering on one of the biggest symbols of Oklahoma to the rest of the United States. I can’t wait to go back to the arena to watch more in the coming years.
