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.

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...

skinzfan23

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.

Thanks for the update....hopefully with more to come as it gets closer. My wife and I were going downtown to a concert on Friday night and I would hate to leave the kids home alone with a possibility of a tornado.

skinzfan23

I was thinking, maybe the new Creighton baseball stadium, if that still happens.

skinzfan23

Either way, that is great to see. We have been down there on two separate weekends for at least 3 hrs each time and both times it was absolutely packed. Like I have said before, it would be nice to see some businesses, other than food trucks, taking advantage of number of people down there. I though...

I just think it's funny that Omaha's front door could end up being a collection of 5 different stadiums in a few years. What are the 5 stadiums? I know CHI, Schwab Field and then the soccer stadium but what else are you counting? And I don't think that is necessarily a bad thing. Especially if deve...

I feel like it's time to close the book and start over. The city should cut a check to buy the land back. Tell the developer we need to part ways and start looking for a developer that will bring us a real urban development. What they are presenting is a low density outlet mall with a pocket of den...

What a joke. I don’t even know what to think.They definitely need to have a concrete timeline or pay. I understand the new developer took over but this is insane on how long it has taken without a single structure being built.

skinzfan23

That is a good hire. Figured they would prob go this route.

skinzfan23

Yes, they are flying:

Just updating my previous post:

3/17: 8 floors
3/24: 9 floors
4/7: 11 floors
4/18: 13 floors

You can now see it peaking up between the OWH and UP building

Few update photos:

I see what you’re saying. So it will wrap around starting a few floors up…that makes sense.

skinzfan23

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...

Brock Vice has committed to North Texas....wish him well.

skinzfan23

Great to hear! Really will improve that stretch of road when coming into town from the airport.

skinzfan23

I really hope there is a time lapse of the project in process. I was just going to say, I am surprised there isn't a public construction cam of the project yet. I understood at first with just ground work being done, but now that they are 1/4 down with the core height, you would think there would b...

This evening. Even at just 11 floors it’s already looking pretty impressive. Probably more like 12 or 13 at the top of the yellow. In your photo, floor 9 is just below the walkway, 10 is behind the walkway, 11 is just above the walkway, just blow the yellow, so 12 and possibly 13 are under the yell...

skinzfan23

So is this a done deal, and construction should start sometime later this year then?

I’m digging the neon green and yellow…they should keep it

Bellevue Announces Significant Progress in Development of Large Water Park Complex Great to hear some movement on this. Sounds like the theme and more info will be released after May 30th.

That height difference on the center section looks like it will let in plenty of wind and precipitation…

I am assuming, based on the rendering, the main portion of the terminal is going to be higher after the renovations so there isn't such a big gap.

skinzfan23

I think they look nice too.

As I have mentioned before, I don't go to Hyvee anymore, wonder if this is a good thing for them. They just seem to get their hands into too many things as once.

I only got .3", what did everyone else get? I know that there is potentially more rain later today, but I was hoping that we would get close to an inch. I got the same, and was also hoping for at least an inch. But also thankful we didn't get the hail... Tru dat....haha. I was going to go to t...

Looking at some of the articles from the OWH on this and it is amazing how much better that area looks now. Whoever had the idea to have the playground right next to the museum is genius. It really has helped to activate that area so much more. It used to be that you would see a few runners or biker...

We went on Saturday and we got there around noon. There were still about 15-20 spots open but around 3 when we came back out it was completely packed and full. There were at least a dozen cars circling and looking for a spot. I do wish that they would have put the cap over the train tracks. Would ha...

Story in the OWH stated that attendance for its first full year was over 260,000, which far exceeded expectations.

Good to hear!

I couldn’t tell you, but to my eyes Kalk is a much better player and can even shoot the 3.

What really facinates me is how much care they put into replacing the Farnam and Harney bridges. Each bridge will probably be a 5-10 million investment and is needed to handle the weight of a streetcar. I would love to see wider pedestrian sidewalks and some kind of protected bike lane so bikers fe...

It has been a great pace! I think it'll slow down a little as it gets taller though. I mean, just the physical action of transporting workers and materials from the base to the tip will be a longer period of time. I was thinking it might be the exact opposite. At least for the building as a whole. ...
