BOK Center

Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States

BOK Center concert venue in Tulsa, Oklahoma

Why it matters

BOK Center gave Tulsa a national-level arena when it opened in 2008. César Pelli’s sweeping stainless-steel design is distinctive enough to have become a downtown landmark, and the building helped make Tulsa a much more consistent stop for major concert tours.

Getting there

BOK Center is embedded in downtown Tulsa, so park once and walk in from the Arts District, Blue Dome or the central business district. A garage a few blocks away is often easier to leave than a space immediately beside the arena.

Bag policy

Entry screening at BOK Center follows the rule posted for the event configuration. Review the official venue policy on show day, especially if you need a medical, parenting or accessibility exception.

Local tips

The Arts District and Blue Dome area are both close enough for a pre-show meal or drink, which is a better use of downtown than arriving at the doors hungry. Parking is spread through the central business district, so a garage a few blocks away can be easier to escape after the encore.
