Energy FC Fans,
 
After a thoughtful public process consisting of more than 26 hours of public meetings and a citywide vote, the City of Oklahoma City has officially passed MAPS 4! I recognize that this is a historical moment on many levels. MAPS 4 will have a transformational impact both on our community and on our team. A sincere thank you is in order – to all of you – for helping us make the dream of securing a permanent home for OKC Energy FC a reality.
 
In recent months, city officials received a tremendous amount of Energy FC fan support for the multipurpose stadium on the MAPS 4 ballot. From the many letters of support you have sent to your City Council representatives throughout the summer, to your incredible presence at City Hall in August, to the fans who have volunteered alongside me to raise awareness and excitement for MAPS 4 and its incredible promise for Oklahoma City, each step of this process has been humbling. I am extremely grateful for you.
 
The multipurpose stadium funded by MAPS 4 sets Oklahoma City on a path to stay competitive with the rest of the country, well into the future. It also will give Energy FC a permanent home that will be even better equipped to serve you.
 
Beyond professional soccer, the multipurpose venue will unite neighborhoods and people of all ages through community events, concerts and games. It will complement the other 15 transformational projects that will uphold Oklahoma City’s diversity and promote unity. I’m honored to be part of the MAPS 4 story. I hope you are, too.
 
It is only the beginning for Energy FC. Thank you, sincerely, for your support.
