In case you're looking for a reason not to go downtown this week, Oklahoma City is hosting a NCAA Men's Basketball Regional at Chesapeake Arena from Thursday through Sunday. One of the eight teams making its way to OKC is the Northern Iowa Barnstormers of the Missouri Valley Conference. (I just totally made up that nickname because I'm too lazy to open up a new tab.)
In preparation for the big visit, The Des Moines Register's Linh Ta came up with a list of five Oklahoma City "Hot Spots" for Northern Iowa fans to check out while in town. Because it's always fun to see what out-of-town reporters think about your city, I thought it would be fun to break down the list.
