This is what people keep missing. Yes, it's a continuation of a 1 cent tax. No, the jobs from the arena aren't enough to offset that economically. The jobs from all of the revenue businesses in OKC generate because of the Thunder does offset that.
Nothing else is generating as much traffic to OKC and Bricktown as the Thunder does.
