According to UFL president and CEO Russ Brandon, Oklahoma City will be one of two expansion markets that will begin play in the next two years. The other has not yet been determined, but the growth is in line with UFL co-owner Mike Repole's plan to expand to 16 teams -- half the size of the NFL -- by 2035.

The team will play in the MAPS 4 Multipurpose Stadium, currently under development as a soccer venue in downtown Oklahoma City. It will seat about 10,000 fans for football, similar to the smaller and more intimate venues that Repole has sought to position in the league in this season. In a statement, Repole said: "Oklahoma lives and breathes football -- so bringing the UFL to Oklahoma City was a no-brainer. This is a state that shows up, cares deeply, and knows the game of football. Whether it's one of the many college teams that you cheer for, or your local high school team, we plan to build an incredible franchise in OKC that every fan across the state can get behind." ----------------------------------------------- Qualified and capable subcontractors are sought for the following scopes: Structural Steel and Precast Walls Stadia for the Maps 4 Multipurpose Stadium project.
