Oklahoma City Thunder History

The Oklahoma City Thunder were originally founded as the Seattle SuperSonics in 1967. The SuperSonics relocated to Oklahoma City in 2008 after qualifying for the NBA playoffs 22 times, winning their division six times, advancing to three NBA Finals, and winning the NBA Championship in 1979.

The Thunder are now the only professional sports team in Oklahoma. After relocating to Oklahoma City, the Thunder qualified for their first playoffs in the 2009–10 season. During the 2010–11 season, they won their first division title and the following season they won their first Western Conference championship. 

The 2011–12 season marked the team’s first appearance in the NBA Finals since 1996, but they have not yet won a championship since moving to Oklahoma City. The Oklahoma City Thunder's name comes from a reference to Oklahoma's location in Tornado Alley, and Oklahoma City being the home of the U.S. Army's 45th Infantry Division, which were known as the Thunderbirds.

The Thunder began their rebuilding process in 2019 after acquiring All-Star guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and drafting top prospects including Josh Giddey, Jalen Williams, and Chet Holmgren. The new era Thunder qualified for the 2023 play-in game and won their first match-up, but ultimately did not advance to the playoffs after falling to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Oklahoma City Thunder at Paycom Center

The Thunder have played in the same arena since Oklahoma City acquired the franchise in 2008, but it underwent several name changes before settling on Chesapeake Energy Arena in 2011. In 2021, its name was changed to Paycom Center.

But the volume and rowdiness of that college atmosphere has carried over into Thunder games, giving the metro's arena and fanbase the nickname "Loud City.” OKC has also taken to color blocking its crowd, giving different sections different colored shirts, a practice that has spread and become common among all teams in the NBA.

    Great event (app needs work)

    by Timmah on 3/24/24Paycom Center - Oklahoma City

    The event was awesome! Bought tickets with + $30 concession credit built in. Great deal! But, only less than half of the time it worked. I repeatedly had to wait until the one register/worker that it worked with was free. Missed a lot of the game as a result (my kids wanted random concessions, multiple times). Then, didn't get to use all of my credit since they were closing at the start of the 4th quarter. Oof.

    Obstructed view not noted

    by Wing on 3/23/24Paycom Center - Oklahoma City

    Seat was 60% obstructed by a camera man who said he’s there every game in the same spot. Ticket was not noted accordingly and could only see one basket while missing everything on the other end of the court and half court.

    Thunder fan for life

    by Bridget on 3/20/24Paycom Center - Oklahoma City

    I love the Oklahoma City Thunder and I love Oklahoma City. This is my second time attending a Thunder game; I was there 3/2023 as well. Both times I had great experiences and I plan on making this an annual trip. My hotel is right next door and that makes it even better.

    Thunder v Pacers

    by Tex on 3/15/24Paycom Center - Oklahoma City

    My son and I drove up from Tyler, Texas to watch the Thunder host the Pacers. This was our second game this season and third overall on OKC. My son has remained a devoted fan since he first started following basketball around 2013. Every facet of our game was top notch! From the way all of the event staff greats and helps you, to the fan experience during the game, during timeouts and halftime. We have watched NBA games here, in Dallas and Houston but OKC definitely is hands down the most enjoyable and fan friendly environment!

    Wonderful PayCom Service/Entertainment Experience

    by Gil Trainer on 3/13/24Paycom Center - Oklahoma City

    I only go to 5-6 Thunder games a year. Would go to more but I am handicapped (on crutches), so have to find seat in Section 103 or similar. I was there March 10. The help provided to me as a handicapped person is remarkable and I am so thankful!! Keep up the great service and THUNDER UP!!!!!

    Absolutely Wonderful

    by TP on 3/13/24Paycom Center - Oklahoma City

    It was our first time going to the Paycom center and also our very first Thunder game. Our experience was absolutely incredible. The staff were so friendly, helpful, and polite they all assisted us on places to take our children for it being their 1st experience. We will definitely be going to more games!
