OKLAHOMA CITY - More than 16,000 people have signed up to a season ticket request list for Oklahoma City's new NBA team.
Officials of the team formerly known as the Seattle SuperSonics said Sunday they have concluded the first phase of a season ticket request list. Those on the list signed up in just 16 days.
Team spokesman Dan Mahoney says officials are pleased with the level of support for the NBA in Oklahoma City. Mahoney says Oklahoma City's sales team will contact fans to provide specific ticket details.
The ticket request list remains open for future ticket opportunities, depending on availability.

Yes the Thundercats won't be very good, but I know if Portland got an expansion NFL team I'd be first in line to get tickets, even though they'd probably lose every game.
I say good for them, and I hope it continues after the honeymoon is over

This team will be playoff contenders much sooner than most think.
Are they moving to the East?
LAL
SAS
DAL
UTA
HOU
POR
GS
LAC
PHO
SAC
DEN
NO
Plus teams like Memphis and Min are right there with OKC
Are all teams that are ahead of OKC right now, and most of those teams are young enough that they will be there for a while.
I have said this before as well, but I really don't think there will be alot of players that really want to play for Clay Bennett either. Durrant will probably leave after his rookie contract and then it's back to square one.

They really might no be so bad if they could draft decently
By the looks of this year's draft, they were the same old Sonics, doing horrible in the draft unless it's a given. (Durant) I honestly don't things are going to change, the franchise is most likely going to go down as one of the worst drafting teams in history.

i highly doubt these numbers are true. probably just the local media trying to hype the team up. 16,000 season tickets already? for a team that will struggle to muster 20 wins? yeah right. they'll be lucky to pull in 2,000 people a game after honeymoon season is over.

It's been ten years, and I say if Michael Jordan chose to still play the game of basketball, he'd dominate.

Gee. I wish I was as optomistic as you. You must know David Glover.
This city has proven it can support major league sports. The Thunder may sell out every game for a couple of years, then level off. With the enthusiasm shown over the past three or so years, the team will still rank high for years to come.
Next to arrive... The NFL. Sell out city! Again.

Why would the numbers not be true? The attendance for the Hornets leveled off a little bit when it was pretty much announced the team was going back to NOLA. But the games were still really well attended. Now this team is permanent. Nobody thought going into the Hornets first season here they would win 20 games. They won a little over 30 games. OKC will pull in about 18k per game the first couple of seasons and probably about the same after that unless the team never improves/gets worse. I don't see that happening with young talented players like Durant, Green, and Westbrook. That's a good young nucleus.a
