Paycom Center seating plan & guide
Paycom Center is the downtown Oklahoma City home of the NBA's Oklahoma City Thunder, known for one of the loudest, most energetic crowds in the league. Opened in 2002 (formerly the Ford Center and Chesapeake Energy Arena), it is slated to be replaced by a new downtown arena later this decade.
Best sections
Sideline seats near mid-court put you in the thick of the Thunder's famously loud lower-bowl energy.
Club seats include lounge access and padded seating for a calmer, more comfortable night.
Upper sideline sections are the value play and keep a centered view of the court.
Insider tips
- The arena sits right off I-40 in downtown OKC with nearby Bricktown parking, so budget extra time for postgame traffic out of the area.
- Because TickPick charges no buyer fees, its listed seat price is the final amount — useful when chasing cheap upper-level tickets.
