TD Ameritrade Park? I was hoping for Union Pacific park, but this will work. Union Pacific won't sell more trains when the CWS is on ESPN for two weeks. Â Ameritrade might open a lot of investment accounts. -Big E With the stock market the way it is now, that's unlikely. Â :lol: Â Everytime I logi...

FYI: The Honda Civic (all trim levels, including hybrid) was the best selling vehicle in the US for May 2008, supplanting the Ford F-150 (again, all models combined). Â This marked the first time in 16 years that a passenger sedan was the #1 vehicle instead of a truck. http://www.hybridcars.com/new...

I guess my opinion is, this arena (if it does seat 16,000) is too big for a city the size of Lincoln. Â If Nebraska basketball is going to be the only tenant, the thing is doomed from the start. Â There are only 8-10k people attending games at the Bob, what makes you think a new arena will somehow b...
