The Tulsa Convention Center opened after a $50.5 million expansion.
The project, which began in September 2008, included the addition of 10 meeting rooms, upgraded lights and flooring, a new north entrance and enhanced outdoor areas. A new 30,000-square-foot ballroom was also added.
The new center will attract more conventions and events to Tulsa and should spur the ongoing revitalization of downtown, said Kathy Tinker, director of convention sales and marketing.
