As the concrete pouring process began for Continental Coliseum, a legacy capsule was carefully placed within the foundation—preserving the story of the community that made this moment possible.

Inside are artifacts that connect Oklahoma City's past, present and future: a wooden coin from the 1972 opening of the Myriad Convention Center, a letter from Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt, a copy of "Hope Wins," the iconic photo by OKC Thunder photographer Jimmy Do, captured during the 2025 NBA championship parade, Continental Coliseum groundbreaking memorabilia, four oil samples from active Continental Resources wells in Oklahoma's Anadarko Basin, a timeline chronicling more than three decades of civic investment...

Among the most meaningful items are two ordinary pennies. One dates to 1993, when Oklahoma City voters approved the original MAPS initiative and began transforming the city through a temporary one-cent sales tax. The other is from 2023, when voters approved building Continental Coliseum, continuing that tradition of investing in Oklahoma City's future.

These artifacts tell one story: that lasting change is built over time, through a shared commitment to something bigger than ourselves.

Every artifact in the legacy capsule represents a chapter in Oklahoma City's journey. Together, they preserve the story behind Continental Coliseum—and the vision that continues to shape the city's future.

Today, the Oklahoma City Council approved “One Voice. One OKC,” a terrazzo floor designed by Oklahoma City artist Matthew Goad for the main concourse of the Continental Coliseum, which is under construction in downtown Oklahoma City.

Goad describes the 80,000-square-foot terrazzo floor as a monumental visualization of the collective voice of Oklahoma City. Composed of overlapping concentric sound waves, the design radiates throughout the concourse in a rhythmic composition of softly graduated blue terrazzo. Inspired by the anticipation before a game and the resonance of thousands of voices becoming one, the artwork transforms sound into a permanent architectural expression woven into the building itself.

The foundation is taking shape.

Today's concrete pour represents the first for Continental Coliseum, marking the beginning of the arena's foundation and another step toward bringing Oklahoma City's next world-class sports and entertainment venue to life.

As part of this milestone, a legacy capsule was also placed in the foundation, preserving artifacts that reflect Oklahoma City’s past, document this moment in time and capture the story behind Continental Coliseum for future generations.

Behind every milestone are the skilled craftspeople, engineers and project partners transforming years of planning into reality. From the work happening below grade today to the structure that will soon rise above it, every step brings the project closer to opening in 2028.
