I'm not sure about the area code thing. Doesn't Tulsa have more than one area code? Identifying by zip/area code feels very "beverly hills 90210", by which I mean old people thinking a shtick from the 1980s is still cool. And is it ever wise to follow UTEP? But - and it's been a long time since I've been able to say this - I think the people handling this at TU know better than I do so let's do it.
True, but $5.39 tickets seemed too cheap.
The whole town has been celebrating 918 day recently. Restaurants run specials and so forth. It's part of the uptick in civic pride that Tulsa has been experiencing recently and I think TU is wise to capitalize on it.
On the University of Tulsa Facebook page they link this video and the $9.18 ticket promotion. Great video linking TU and Tulsa much needed campaign.
Besides the use of the 539 area code is still miniscule to 918. Nobody yet associates 539 to the city, partly because of this. Historical association has not forced 539 into most consciousnesses, it's still 918. Mabye in 15 or 20 years that might change.
Or it will always be 918, because it was the first, and at the time, the only. It had a lot of time to establish itself.(Kinda like Route 66.)

Where's their DJI Osmo Mobile Stabilizer. At one point the skyline looked like it was blowing up like the Twin Towers.
I moved away not too many years ago, and I've yet to encounter a 539 area code in the wild. I certainly am used to the 918 though.
I always count on y’all to educate me on what’s happening in my hometown, since I haven‘t lived there in 44 years. The other area code is a prime example. I had no idea that there was another one other than 918, though I wondered how they had done without another one for so long with the proliferation of cell phones (although as folks discontinue their landlines and pagers that should free up some 918 numbers for reuse).
412 is huge in Pittsburgh. It’s almost ridiculous- people with it tattooed on them and everything. I think this is a great campaign for TU. Hometown pride builds from this kind of hook. Great job by the TU marketing guys!
This is so interesting, it feels old school corny to me but hey, if it works, it works. Maybe I've lived in multiple area code cities for too long... Anyway, I'm glad TU is on the ball enough to take advantage of this kind of stuff and focused enough on the community to care to try.
Bynum was on channel 2's morning show today and he talked about how the idea came about in looking for a Tulsa City-wide pride celebration (and not the lGBTQ+ pride day thing) and someone suggested doing 9/18 because of the area code. A ton of city businesses have jumped on board with it as well offering either discounted goods and services utilizing the 918 them. We're just lucky we don't have an area code like El Paso's 539 because I can see plenty of folks trying to circle May 39th on their calendar and being very confused
People posted on Facebook about 9-18 being Tulsa day long before he was elected. I did it when Kragthorpe was coach. Glad they are putting money behind it.Bynum was on channel 2's morning show today and he talked about how the idea came about in looking for a Tulsa City-wide pride celebration (and not the lGBTQ+ pride day thing) and someone suggested doing 9/18 because of the area code.

Can I get a refund for the difference in cost between my season tix and this special price.... or at least a bunch of free beer coupons?
Another benefit to Chapman stadium…you don’t have to worry about nosebleeds or altitude sickness.
