Tulsa Local Pulse: Soccer, Neighborhoods, and Spring Markets

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Saturday, March 21. We kick off with exciting sports action as FC Tulsa hosts Las Vegas Lights FC tonight at 7 p.m. at ONEOK Field presented by Tulsa Welding School. Fresh off their 4-2 U.S. Open Cup win over Little Rock Rangers on Wednesday, where newcomers like Nelson Pierre scored and defender Harvey St. Clair volleyed home a beauty, the Scissortails aim for their second win of the week. Expect Gals and Goals Night with limited edition shirts for the first 1,000 fans, friendship bracelet stations, and a sports bra donation drive by Cleats for Kids. Tickets are at fctulsa.com/tickets. Over in the Renaissance neighborhood, midtown residents are pushing to strengthen their character overlay after a standout oversized house at East 12th Street and South Gary Place and a new three-story apartment complex sparked concerns. The association, Tulsas first with this overlay since 2022, proposes tweaks like garage setbacks and roof pitch limits, inspired by Florence Park.

City Hall updates include neighborhood leaders urging us all to engage, as these zoning tweaks directly shape our daily views and traffic.
