Ford Center is celebrating six years as Oklahoma's destination for the best in sports and entertainment. Home to the Oklahoma City Blazers (Central Hockey League) and the Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz (arenafootball2), the Ford Center also served as a temporary home for the New Orleans Hornets (2005-06 and 2006-07 NBA Seasons) and plays host to major concerts, family events, ice shows, sporting events and the latest in world-class entertainment.
The 586,000 square foot facility features four seating levels and a press level with a maximum seating capacity of 20,817 for a concert set in-the-round.

Thanks for the ad...Hope you have a great New Year. Here's some new work put together in the theme of the new year. It's a call to artist to create from the universal creative clock.
We would like to offer everyone a holiday wish, and that is "May you have a Merry Christmas". We are a Christian family so everyone please accept our wish to you for what it is, "a wish of peace for all mankind".
The video below is from Chris, he made it just a few days before his death (Nov 06). He had his unit promise that it would be delivery to us, and his friends (now I am deliverying it to his friends). Un-knowing to Chris it would be one of his last request.
We received it the following March 07. So here is our son wishing us and You, his friends, a Merry Christmas.
"Strength and Honor"
