New entertainment district proposed for Norman

The University North Park Entertainment District is a proposed mixed-use entertainment development consisting of retail, offices and housing anchored by a new 10,000-seat multipurpose arena, which the University of Oklahoma plans to lease for men’s and women’s basketball.

Located along I-35 between Robinson and Tecumseh in Norman, the entertainment district would augment the UNP’s existing retail, which has grown to more than 1.3 million square feet since 2007 and generates $13 million annually in Norman tax revenue. The entertainment district will provide young professionals and others with a unique place to live, work and play.
