BREAKING: Center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong and the Chicago Cubs are finalizing a long-term contract extension, sources tell ESPN. Crow-Armstrong, coming off a 30-30 season and a Gold Glove, will get a big payday as the Cubs lock up a franchise-caliber talent.
As we bask in the glory of one major accomplishment yesterday, we return to the celebration of another. This coming Tuesday, our NBA Champion OKC Thunder return to the court.
Before the game, a permanent championship banner will be unveiled at our arena and the players will receive their championship rings. Other commemorations will be revealed around the city. It is the close of one chapter (that we will always celebrate) and the start of another.
And so it is most appropriate that I do hereby proclaim Tuesday, October 21st, 2025 to be OKC THUNDER DAY in Oklahoma City and do encourage our residents to mark the occasion by wearing Thunder apparel, display Thunder flags and signage, show support on social media and otherwise commemorate our city’s first NBA Championship.

For the first time, the North Oval is open for tailgating. One of OU’s most iconic spaces is now the center of game day.
