This is not the first time for Oklahoma to have ranked so highly; in 1976, before the rise of places like the Southeast, Seattle, and Denver, and the attempted renaissance of places like Cleveland, Detroit, Jersey City and Indianapolis, the ranking looked like this:

1974 Illinois 1,450
1972 New York 1,368
1974 California 858
1970 Pennsylvania 841
1973 Minnesota 792
1964 Massachusetts 749
1971 Texas 715
1928 Ohio 708
1972 Louisiana 697
1976 Oklahoma 667
It's unfortunate that Sears Tower doesn't get to include it's antennae! Otherwise, and realistically - Sears is 1750'. A supermonster that set the bar and always will!

Hi Kevin, I wasn't trying to start anything - I was just amazed at the comment. Tulsa has OKC beat only in skyscrapers, so Im not sure what the crown was other than if it was for that point; as the poster didn't specify.
