What "similarities" are you guys seeing between these two skylines? I see nothing in common between them.
Tampa has the better skyline. I think the OKC skyline is ugly myself. The new tower will help, but it's too tall for the skyline IMO. One supertall and a bunch of older 20 story buildings looks bad. OKC should have built two 45 story buildings. That would have really added to the skyline.
In all fairness, they are quite similar in size, style and setup. OKC is slightly bigger, and probably more appealing to many.
For now, I'll have to say Tampa. The original pictures make OKC's look bigger, but they leave out the trail of high-rises (or whatever else there is mixed in with them) that tricke out of Tampa's downtown.
However, in a couple years, it'll be OKC hands down.

Maybe after that new tower in OKC is built, it will be the better skyline, but don't count Tampa out. I recently saw an article in the Tampa Tribune that high rise developers are working to get plans approved for more towers in Tampa and are just waiting for the economy to turn back around. The Tampa housing authority also is already building the Encore project which will have a 17 and 13 story. Not that big, but will fill in the area nicely.
I'd have to venture that the pics of Oklahoma City so far aren't doing it justice....
How do you do it more justice than showing a photo all of downtown? If anything, the tampa photos don't do tampa justice because there is more outside of downtown tampa than what's outside of downtown okc.
I guess I don't see what you guys are seeing with OKC. OKC looks like Toledo or something to me. Very dated with a tiny, yet pretty dense historic business district from the 1930's with a few post 1950's yet pre 1980's towers added in.
That will change for sure with the new tower as that tower will become OKC's skyline much like how Omaha's skyline completely changed with one new building.
