OU should fund 100% plus help with traffic needs.

After 10 years of the ON Foundation not complying with the original agreement, why would the Council seriously consider the proposed Arena at taxpayers expense. Not only do I oppose the Arena, I also urge ending the existing TIF..wish I never voted for it...

I do not want one of my tax dollars to go for privately owned facilities. How about if you want to spend money on a public TIF we do it for teacher raises and more school funding?

I do not believe the TIF would be good for Norman.

The city of Norman should not have to pay for an arena that OU & the OU Foundation wants. It would not be suited for that area & would cause traffic congestion, among other things not needed or wanted.

We should stop subsidizing development in an area of Norman that will develop without our tax dollars. Stop the TIF and get our tax dollars back to support City budget and shift to clean energy.

The people of Norman have much greater municipal needs. There are already venues that would make this project reduntant. It's abhorrent that the city would consider instituting another regressive tax that benefits private interests.

I’m against this highly expensive arena that shifts money away from Norman business at great cost!

I can think of many other needs for the Norman area, including refocus on downtown.

No to the UNP Arena and developments. We have plenty of commercial space as it is, no need to build more. Build a nice park with bike trails and running trails and other outdoor activity so the millenials want to stay and raise a family here.

This is really stupid. Existing business is not going to be helped by this but hurt. Why would you build a sports arena miles away from OU. The type of shops proposed exist downtown Norman

This thing is not wanted by the voters. OU wants us to pay because they have mismanaged their own finances for years.

I’m a graduate of OU. I think this is a terrible idea.
