David Holt has been talking about Oklahoma City needing a new downtown arena for more than two years. Now that a vote is less than a month away, the Oklahoma City mayor pulls the curtain back on how negotiations with the Thunder led to this plan, why the team gave $50 million and what he makes of people concerned about that amount. (Hint: Holt thinks it’s a good idea to look at how much teams in Memphis and New Orleans gave for their arenas, not teams in San Francisco and Detroit.) Holt talks about all that and more on The Jenni Carlson Show.
