Oklahoma doesn't have any pro sports teams.
Pro sports is what generates money.
The Drillers have to GIVE their tickets away for people to go to the games. Besides, stadiums are known to raise the crime rate in cities. A new parking garage will be a big ugly unused building that will end up being a home to pigeons. It's very rare that our airport will fly anywhere directly. We don't have any 5 star restaurants or hotels that are better than other cities.
