Holy |expletive|. I would love to see some more housing/retail/restaurants along the river. The parks we have are phenomenal, but how great would it be to walk out your front door to the river?

Re: Downtown Soccer Stadium (Abbott Drive)
Union Omaha averaged a league 3rd best attendance, averaging 3,075 per game. If they shoot for 10k at the proposed stadium, I suspect a first season average of 6k would be likely. I'm sure there will be games that sell out, too, but on average, i think 6k sounds like a good number.

Re: Mutual of Omaha Tower (14th & Farnam)
the garage is progressing much slower for obvious reasons, but hopefully they can start erecting steel by the fall? they are at L4 right now (almost May) and have to get to 12/13 in order to start steel. Is 8 more levels doable in the next 3 months?
