Local artist Matt Goad was selected to design the terrazzo concourse floor for Oklahoma City's under-construction Continental Coliseum. City of Oklahoma City
Oklahoma City has selected the design of local artist Matt Goad for the main concourse floor at Continental Coliseum, the future home of the Thunder that opens ahead of the 2028-29 NBA season.
The blueish terrazzo concourse floor will likely consist of an amalgamation of shell, recycled glass, porcelain and reflective mirror aggregates.
Goad’s design, titled “One Voice. One OKC,” is intended to represent the overlapping sound waves of Oklahoma City’s collective voices spreading across the 80,000-square-foot main concourse floor. He previously produced an artistic design for a similar project, the terrazzo floor at OKC Will Rogers International Airport. Goad’s work is being funded through Oklahoma City’s “1% for Art” ordinance, which requires 1% of the construction budget for city-owned buildings, parks and trails to be set aside for public art. He was one of 30 artists from around the world who responded to an RFP.
