Re: Lincoln: NCAA Basketball Tournament Bid
I think Lincoln has a great shot at this but more importantly Lincoln should bid for other championships. From what I read PBA is a great venue for NU basketball. The Haymarket/Railyard area looks amazing and downtown Lincoln hits the hot buttons as well.

Re: Civic Square (former Civic Auditorium)
Sometimes it helps to get out of Omaha and see what others do. I live in a suburb of Detroit, Southfield. I also lived in Oak Park for a while. Anyway, in my travels all over the metro I initially was amazed at the number of people who bike here. Even in the winter in the snow. It's called the Motor...

Another 220 airline? Florida-based? With fuel prices rising? Higher interest rates?'
Ought to call it Red Way.
Between Red Way and the terminal expansion paid for by property taxes if I was a Lincoln resident I'd really wonder about leadership of the city and the airport.

Re: Omaha Eppley Airfield

I was looking at data between LNK and GRI. Grand Island is right on the heals of LNK enplanements. In November 2023 they were 9k vs 5k accordingly. I am guessing Lincoln loses out on passengers to both Omaha and Grand Island. Considering the size of markets, LNK should be much higher than it is. I'...

Nothing deeper can be shared on this rumor, as sources are under strict NDA. So that NDA worked well. When someone signs a NDA, which is a non disclosure agreement, they are legally bound by it. Should they break it there are severe penalties. Did the source forget his/her glasses? Did they lose it?
