Re: Bellevue Waterpark (Highway 34 and 75)
So I work in Bellevue and there's been a lot of talk amongst the people I work with that live in Bellevue. They said the mayor recently got fined for having property in Old Towne that he may have benefited improperly from the city. They are also saying he owns the land or some of the land with this...

Re: Creighton Basketball 2024-2025
Creighton has finally gotten a transfer. 6'6" guard Jamiya Neal from ASU. He avg 11 pts and 5.4 reb per game last year. Not a great 3pt shooter though, only 26.9% for 3 seasons. He apparently was a great defender and can dunk pretty easily.
He has one season of eligibility left.

Re: Bellevue Waterpark (Highway 34 and 75)
Glad that it seems Bellevue got on this rather quickly. If everything is still a go that is great news. I was recently searching online and there is a very similar waterpark proposed for Bradley, IL, which is about 60 miles SW of Chicago and then of course Des Moines had proposed one as well about 1...

Re: Downtown Soccer Stadium (Abbott Drive)
Some of that can be misleading though. They often have 2 dates with Nebraska that will draw around 10k. Without the visitors, that number drops significantly. That used to be the case, but not in recent history. Here are the totals from the past few years: 2022: 3,110 2023: 2,479 & 5,121 2024: ...

Well, Frankie Fidler is headed to Mich St. Thought that CU or Nebraska were the place where he would end up, especially after Chucky decommitted from Wisconsin.
He is a good player, but the level of competition is going to be drastically different for him.

Re: Downtown Soccer Stadium (Abbott Drive)
Agree, it would be nice for Creighton. Right now, they can get 4,000 people but the stadium is so cavernous that it feels horrible. There just isn't any demand for their tickets. Maybe if they can build a nice stadium similar to Morrison with great downtown views and make it more fan-friendly people...

That view of the building looks better, but the view facing 480 looks pretty basic. Hopefully they can design a little more aesthetics to other buildings that go up in this development.

I am excited to see how everything looks this year with the redesigned park. I have stated this before, but this, in the past, was the only regular event that utilized the parks. I thought it was decent before, but hopefully it will taken to a whole new level now.

Re: Mutual of Omaha Tower (14th & Farnam)
As we can now see the parking floors are indeed wrapping around the tower on the east side. I don’t think that is the case at all. You can see in the 2nd picture I took today, it’s just scaffolding. On the sides you can see the levels of the garage but not in the middle: https://i.postimg.cc/w1Fqhz...
