Massive Indoor-Outdoor Sports Facility Planned For Tulsa

A huge indoor-outdoor sports facility planned for the 81st and Elwood Avenue area is expected to be complete next summer. Titan Sports and Performance Center will host a groundbreaking ceremony Tuesday, August 30 on a 60-acre location.

The massive sports complex will have 10 outdoor and two indoor soccer fields, eight basketball courts, 16 indoor volleyball courts and two outdoor lacrosse fields, according to a news release. The indoor facility will be 175,000 square feet.

Stan Liedel, general manager for the facility, said a group of local investors saw the need for the complex and worked to fill it.

"We will serve the needs of many area clubs and athletes by offering many different fields and programs," he said.

Titan Sports and Performance Center will also have a fitness center so parents can work out while their kids practice, a training center and rehab/sports medicine components, according to the release. They estimate it will bring around $6 million in annual revenue to the city.

"The Titan Sports and Performance Center in Tulsa will be the largest facility of its kind in the state of Oklahoma, and we are very excited Tulsa was selected for this new venture," said Mayor Dewey Bartlett. Bartlett said the facility is expected to bring at least 50 jobs to the area.
