Who really knows but those two? My speculation is that they are not set on anything if it is tied to the right $$$$, as would be the case for almost anyone. They were proud enough of "Knight Owls" that they invested in concept merch to show the NHL commissioner and were really giddy annou...

If you missed Grow Omaha this morning, we announced that the arena will be called “Prairie Green Arena“. It is not a naming rights name, it’s a nod to the carbon neutral plan for the arena.. “Prairie Green Arena”? Are the arena and team name set in stone? Any info Brad? I haven't heard anything on ...

“Prairie Green Arena”? Are the arena and team name set in stone?

Any info Brad?

The website also list the WNBA as an option in the lone survey question. I know the WNBA is aiming to add 4 expansion teams by 2028 but I doubt that Omaha is high on their list, if on it at all. But then again, women's sports (mainly basketball/volleyball) have been popular in the region and both ha...

I'm quite confused by what the team is doing with their move to SLC. My understanding is that Instead of "relocating," the Coyotes are going to be "dormant" and the new Utah team, while technically the Coyotes, will be an expansion team, beginning play next season. Should the ow...

Doctor Fate

Well, the only NHL franchise that was prime for relocation, the Arizona Coyotes, are heading to Salt Lake City. Not that NHL in NE had a great chance but in my mind this would be the nail in the proverbial coffin. I believe the pitch wasn't for relocation anyway, but for expansion right? That’s wha...

A former city councilman told me that this is just a proposal but is very likely to be approved. The fact that the Hilton name was used in the renderings seem to align with that.

This is pretty impressive and nicely fits into the existing buildings on that north side of the block.

This is my thought. Apartments are great, but don't fit the same niche as condos. When we were looking, there was barely anything for condos. Yes! A majority want to own, not rent. It seems like I always see the same kinds of units for sale in the same buildings as 10-20 years ago! This seems to be...

I talked to the mayor over the weekend and she said there is a new proposal for this site from an Atlanta-based developer. Twin residential towers, both 25 stories, and a new to market 18 floor hotel. 1200+ car parking garage. Lower level retail with full size grocery store and one two story nation...

I imagine she'll be playing pro ball in Australia. If I remember correctly, she came back to Nebraska this year instead of turning pro there with a some endorsement deals. Two of her brothers play professionally in Australia also.

Hughes Tree Service was in Lot A today cutting down several trees. I assume this was related to the future streetcar maintenance building but you never know -- could be related to some future mixed-use development. Do you remember where they were doing that?

Toss loss yesterday but the future is very bright for us. Callin Hake, Logan Nissley, Natalie Potts, Alexis Markowski, and Allison Weidner all coming back, plus adding Britt Prince and Amiah Hargrove. Still have some glaring weaknesses, especially inside, but potential is high.

Not surprising, as we discussed this at the beginning of the season, but Ramel Lloyd is entering the portal. Still puzzling why he never played this year and I never really heard anything about him other than that he was injured at some point in the preseason. https://omaha.com/sports/huskers/mens-b...

Mayor said on Grow Omaha this past Saturday they are holding on to this lot. Short-Term it may be a laydown yard for the Streetcar Construction. Long term they want the "Right Project" with decent height. So far the only interest was from an apartment developer who wanted to build a small...

During a break in the uncut GO, the Mayor mentioned they want to see a full service hotel like Omni. Omni is building in conjunction to convention center business and they build tall; I hope they become the third anchor and build something at least as tall as the Marriott.

Sort of surprised by the level of skepticism or cynicism if these are the right words. I don't always express my views here because I feel like I am often the cynic.
