The Thunder has “brought back Loud City Live,” an official watch party at Paycom Center during road playoff games, according to Isa Almeida of the OKLAHOMAN. Attending fans can “watch the game on the big screens while still enjoying regular game-night fun, like T-shirt tosses and Thunder entertainers’ performances.” Concessions are “also open to anyone looking for a beer or a hot dog.” Unlike last year when entrance was free, tickets “will cost $10.” A portion of proceeds “will benefit the Thunder Community Fund.” Before the Thunder started hosting Loud City Live events in 2025, fans got to experience the popular attraction, Thunder Alley. It was an outdoor fan zone outside the arena with live music, face painting and more. The formalized watch party came to an end after a shooting in 2012 left eight people shot and another injured from the panic. Plans for the new Thunder arena, expected to be ready ahead of the 2028-2029 regular season, “promise a new iteration of Thunder Alley.” The expansive zone contains a “private parking garage entrance for teams, VIP access and grand stairways leading into the arena” (OKLAHOMAN, 5/22).
