Hes talking about an arena district (Haymarket) taking off right away. Oh, so saying that Lincoln's arena has the advantage because it's being built in an already established section of town?  I sort of agree, but would love to give it a few years before I make a serious comparison.

I know, I thought that quite strange, too. Why would Hyatt use the Chicago office of an Omaha firm to design the Omaha hotel?

He has to be gone at the end of the year.

He gave up and his players gave up.

If Doc returns next season they may as well move their home games to the Pershing.  That is all the seating they will need.

Nope.

The article mentioned that they had to scale back the size of the building a bit to make sure they could reach their funding.

By the sounds of things the designs are still in very early stages.
