Paycom Center

• Driving & Parking
  To drive to the arena, travelers heading from I-40 can take either the Robinson Avenue or Shields Boulevard exits and head north directly toward downtown, while those coming from I-235 should take the Reno Avenue or NW 6th Street exits to approach from the north or east. The venue is surrounded by an abundance of affordable municipal and private parking accommodations, led by massive structures like the Century Center Garage, the Santa Fe Garage, and the multi-story Convention Center Garage situated just south of the arena off Mick Cornett Drive. For those preferring open-air surface accommodations, surface lots are available along the arena's west side, near Scissortail Park, and throughout the adjacent Bricktown district.
• Public Transit
  EMBARK operates bus routes throughout OKC. The OKC Streetcar system connects Bricktown, Midtown, and downtown with stops near the arena. For a car-dependent city, the streetcar has improved game-night transit.
  • Rail Lines & Streetcar (Amtrak Heartland Flyer)
    For rail and fixed-track transit, regional travelers can utilize the Amtrak Heartland Flyer, which operates daily between Fort Worth and Oklahoma City, arriving directly at the historic Santa Fe Depot (100 S. E.K. Gaylord Blvd). This train station is one block east of the Paycom Center, making it incredibly convenient for out-of-town fans.
  • OKC Streetcar system
    Fans can jump on either the Downtown Loop or the Bricktown Loop, both of which feature dedicated stops just steps away from the arena doors.
  • Bus Routes (EMBARK & RAPID)
    EMBARK operates an extensive municipal bus network that connects various corners of Oklahoma City directly to the stadium area. Key routes that drop off near the transit center and the stadium include Route 003 (connecting North Central OKC and Robinson), Route 005, Route 007, Route 010 (serving Portland/Classen), and Route 040. Additionally, EMBARK’s high-frequency bus rapid transit line, RAPID NW, operates seamlessly into downtown, offering fans an efficient and highly reliable alternative to driving and parking.
• Rideshare
  The designated rideshare pickup and drop-off zones remain actively enforced along the curbsides of Reno Avenue and Robinson Avenue right next to the stadium. To beat the heavy post-game crowds and bypass peak surge pricing, the best strategy is to walk a block or two east into the adjacent Bricktown district or north toward downtown proper before requesting your ride.

Bricktown Canal, OKC's entertainment district is about a 10-minute walk north of the arena and offers the best concentration of pregame bars and restaurants. The Midtown and Paseo Arts District neighborhoods add more diverse options.
