In Game
If you’re in Tulsa, then take some time to attend a Tulsa Golden Hurricane basketball game. You can get tickets for as little as $5, and you’ll find everything you would expect in a college hoops game at the Reynolds Center.
The pep band, spirit squad, Captain Cane, and Reynolds Rowdies create a fun in-game atmosphere that will rivalry most found around the American Athletic Conference. The Reynolds Rowdies can get especially loud when rivals are in town, so if you want to see the Reynolds Center at its best get tickets when Tulsa squares off with Oral Roberts, Oklahoma, or Oklahoma State.
In addition to the fun atmosphere, you’ll find plenty of extras to check out at the Reynolds Center. The venue is home to several luxury suites, for those looking for a premium in-game experience, and there are lots of posters and banners to check out as well. There is even a poster of the 1999-2000 Tulsa team, who made a run to the Elite Eight.
If you’re looking for something to eat or drink after the game, then you’ll have to drive a couple of miles away from the arena. Tulsa does, however, have some great options outside of the immediate vicinity of the Reynolds Center including the Coney I-Lander, so you won’t have worry about going hungry.
A Golden Hurricane is a fun experience for anyone in the Tulsa area or making a trip to all American Athletic Conference arenas, so don’t hesitate to attend a Tulsa basketball game.
