Amenity Updates to Include Championship-Level Grass Training Field for FC Tulsa First Team

TULSA – On Tuesday, FC Tulsa announced the acquisition of Titan Sports and Performance Center. The 190,000 square foot sports facility located in Tulsa will now be owned and operated by FC Tulsa ownership.

The complex will see an overhaul of amenity updates and additions for FC Tulsa’s first team, including a brand-new Championship level grass field on which the squad will train daily.

FC Tulsa will also launch additional adult and youth soccer programming at Titan as part of the acquisition, ensuring players of all ages have access to the game from the learn-to-play and recreational level through the adult competitive level and social leagues.

“We understand the value and power that sports, especially soccer, can have on this community,” said JW Craft, owner of FC Tulsa. “Acquiring Titan gives us the unique ability to invest in every level of soccer here in Tulsa from youth leagues to adult leagues. It also allows us to expand beyond soccer to welcome players of a variety of sports while fostering an active and social community in the place we call home.”

Over the upcoming months, FC Tulsa will place an emphasis on improving the indoor and outdoor facilities at Titan, including the 11 outdoor fields, while also implementing quality programming for soccer, volleyball, basketball, pickleball, futsal, and more.

Additional programming details will be released over the upcoming weeks. FC Tulsa announced its Elite Training Program on August 25, the first soccer-focused initiative to be held at Titan under its new ownership.

All of ONEOK Field will Recite the “I Have a Dream” Speech at Halftime

All of ONEOK Field will Recite the “I Have a Dream” Speech at Halftime

TULSA – FC Tulsa is hosting Greenwood Night on August 23 for the second consecutive year at ONEOK Field to highlight the history and celebrate the future of the Greenwood District. In addition, FC Tulsa is partnering with the Oklahoma Center for Community and Justice to lead a stadium-wide recitation of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech at halftime.

The large crowd in attendance will set the record for most people reciting the “I Have a Dream” speech in one place at one time.

All of Tulsa is encouraged to attend the match and take part in what will be a historic occasion that honors the 60^th anniversary of the “I Have a Dream” speech and reminds us that we are all still “Dreamers” longing for a shared sense of humanity, civility, and love.

“I am a Dreamer” t-shirts will be handed out to the first 3,500 fans in attendance to commemorate the momentous event.

“Since I was 12 years old, when my mother taught me to recite this speech from memory, these words have charted a course for my life – to always be willing to lay the groundwork for unity and reconciliation, even when it is very challenging to do so,” said Phil Armstrong, President and CEO of the OCCJ.  “To collaborate with FC Tulsa to help keep the sentiment of this speech at the forefront of our community and nation, at such a pivotal time in our history, speaks to what we are still trying to achieve – a day when Dr. King’s Dream fully becomes reality.”

The halftime reading of Dr. King’s speech will be just one facet of Greenwood Night at ONEOK Field. Charlie Redd will perform a concert outside of the Greenwood Gate at ONEOK Field from 6-7 p.m. where fans are encouraged to enter the stadium that evening. In addition, small businesses and shop owners from the Greenwood District will be set up across the concourse where fans can shop.

Before the match, a panel of community leaders will host a discussion about race and other social issues in ONEOK Field’s Refinery Deck for select Club 918 Premium members.

Children from the Tulsa Dream Center will serve as walkout kids leading up to the match, exiting the locker rooms hand-in-hand with FC Tulsa and Birmingham Legion FC players while making their way onto the pitch for the National Anthem.

“FC Tulsa is a community club that uses soccer as a way to make Tulsa a better city to live, work, and play,” said Keith Richardson, Senior Director of Community Engagement for FC Tulsa. “Playing in the heart of Greenwood, it was a no-brainer to team up with Phil to add even more intentionality to Greenwood Night while recognizing that as a society, and specifically as Tulsans, we have lots more to do to make Dr. King’s dream a reality.”

FC Tulsa will host Birmingham Legion FC that evening, the city in which Dr. King was jailed on April 12, 1962 and where he penned his infamous “Letter from Birmingham Jail.”

Tickets to the match are available here, and groups can be booked at a special rate by contacting krichardson@fctulsa.com.

The toys will be donated to the Ronald McDonald House and benefit children fighting illness. Any fan that brings a toy will receive a complimentary Endline GA ticket to the match.

In addition, it will be $1 Beer Night at ONEOK Field where fans get access to cans of beer for just $1 with the purchase of a $12 match ticket in the proper areas.

Jersey Designed in Collaboration with Local Tulsa Artist Tanner Kerley

Jersey Designed in Collaboration with Local Tulsa Artist Tanner Kerley

TULSA – Ahead of one of Tulsa’s most notorious annual events, Saint Francis Tulsa Tough, FC Tulsa is highlighting the iconic Cry Baby Hill leg of the cycling street race with a special jersey in collaboration with Tulsa artist Tanner Kerley. FC Tulsa players will wear the jersey during on-field warmups for Tulsa Tough Night on June 17, and the jersey is available for fans to purchase ahead of time.

“We wanted to go big, bright, bold and colorful to match the wild punk rock energy of Cry Baby Hill while incorporating that street art feel,” said FC Tulsa Creative Director Victor Schwanke. “There is no one better in Tulsa to make that happen than local artist Tanner Kerley, so we reached out and the collab was born.”

The Don’t Be a Cry Baby Jersey heavily features graffiti stylings with a prominent crying baby on the front, a nod to the legendary incline that cyclists must ascend during Sunday’s installment of the Saint Francis Tulsa Tough races. On the front of the jersey is also the silhouette of a cyclist with the taunting words “Don’t Be a Cry Baby” echoing across both sleeves.

The back of the jersey features FC Tulsa’s scissortail crest in the club’s signature patina green tone and Tanner Kerley’s signature.

A limited number of Don’t Be a Cry Baby jerseys are available for fans to purchase ahead of June’s Saint Francis Tulsa Tough races and FC Tulsa’s Tulsa Tough Night at ONEOK Field at fctulsa.com/shop.
