Special day paying tribute to Senator Stephens dad, John Franklin Stephens Jr, for being the face of our state monument- the famous Golden Driller, and for overseeing the iconic project. All 76ft of him can be seen daily at Tulsa’s Expo Square. #TravelOK #OK66 https://t.co/FIC182nX4V

@Andrew_Clark85 @CoachESGuerrero @_wrestlersgrind @TulsaSportsCom @NCAAWrestling We’re adding a lot of direct flights & the airport is a million times easier to get through security. I would say most everything will be more affordable once here- and the hospitality and ability to get around town will be superior to any large hub. I really hope you like it.
