The watch parties were free to attend and open to all ages. Fans were encouraged to bring a blanket and sit on the field or choose a spot in the stadium seating bowl.

Tulsa Fans Showing Support

Fans say they loved the chance to get to cheer on the Thunder from Tulsa.

“The experience," said Phil Garcia. "What we usually experience at the arena in Oklahoma City, but local. I love it.”

“It was a little bit too expensive to make a trip down to OKC, so this was the next best thing," said Reanne Ashley.

“Outdoors, concessions, Jumbotron," said David Jeffries. "Life is good.”

“Tulsa Drillers told us they had the biggest TV in Tulsa," said Tacoby McClain. "Therefore, I said, why not. Out of all places, why not go watch the best game in the nation. This is the basketball Super Bowl going on right now.”

“My family, they have been following the finals, and so I was like, sure, I’ll come out and join the party, so I’m just here for a good time," said Bailee Washington.

“I wanted to see the Thunder beat the Pacers," said Davonte Jackson.

“The vibes are good," said Dyanni Parker. "People seem happy. So I guess that’s good. I want them to win! Go Thunder!”

They're confident the Thunder will win the series.

“It’s the way it should go," said Garcia. "Thunder all the way baby. Thunder in five.”

“We got to get excited," said McClain. "Shai is the best Thunder player ever. They want to call him a free-throw merchant. He’s not a free throw merchant. He is the MVP. Three years in a row averaging 30 points. I told them, watch, when we play Tyrese Haliburton, when we play Siakam, they’re not scoring over 20 points. Last game, none of them scored 20 points. They won, off of a lucky two pointer, that’s not going to happen tonight.”

“Come on now, they’re the Thunder," said Taygen James. "I feel like, personally, we have nothing to be afraid of. We just sit back and relax.”

Their message to the team is to play hard and be confident.

“Don’t second guess it," said Ashley. "Just do it. You got this.”

“Shai, I’m a big fan of you, you’re the best, and no one can beat you," said Jackson.

“I want you to win! Bring home the trophy!” said Parker.

“My message is, come hard, come strong, and show them what we’re made of," said McClain. "We lost one time to the East this year, and that was to the Cavs. Where they at now? Cancun.”
