Oklahoma City residents approved a ballot measure to build a new downtown stadium for the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday.
The proposed stadium has an estimated minimum cost of $900 million. The city will use at least $850 million in taxpayer funds to build the arena, with the Thunder contributing $50 million dollars.
The majority of the stadium will be funded by a six-year penny sales tax starting in 2028.
The ballot passed by 70%.
