I somehow just randomly stumbled upon this case on youtube. [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AFrMpQxbmk[/youtube] Warning for language. This case was slightly before my time, but I am surprised that I had never even heard about it. It is crazy to think that something like this could have po...

Good get for Indian Creek. There is plenty of space there for spectators and just a couple years ago they renovated the course. It probably will bring more of a challenge than Champions for the players as well.

When Columbus got an NHL expansion team ~20 years ago they paid $60 million expansion fee. Vegas just paid a $500 million dollar expansion fee. Unless some owner wants to pull a Stan Kroenke and move their team here, my hopes of NHL in Omaha are not realistic. As for NBA, I don't think that just bec...

Does anyone know if they changed the design for the apartment building? From the pictures and webcam it looks like the building is in an L shape, but the only renderings I can find are the original renderings which do not have that L shape. Also, is there an elevator shaft that I am not seeing or is...

There is plenty of room on the northwest corner for something substantial without touching any existing buildings.

An example of what could be there:

I've heard rumblings there might be something to the web.com returning to Omaha? Would be awesome for the tournament to return to Omaha. If I remember correctly, Omaha was one of their staple tournaments while it was part of the tour schedule. I think many folks miss the event and I think it would ...

Its not. What needs to happen is for the undergrad programs to center at one or the other campi and then teleconnect to the others. We really don't need a second college of engineering. What we need is a leadership staff that realizes that when the college of engineering is technologically inferior...

May not be a big impact this year directly but I am guessing he will see a bunch of playing time and allow some of the other guys that would have been playing center to play a position that works better for them. Very true. Hopefully he can help out quickly on the defensive end too so they don't ha...

Huge win for Nebrasketball. He probably will not have a big impact this upcoming year, other than 5 fouls to give, but he should be a solid contributor once he gets a feel for the college game. Miles could not afford to go another recruiting class without a true center.

Same person that told me about the Spect building also said the Daily residence at 96th and Dodge is on the short list for HDR... Can you imagine HDR tearing down Daley's personal residence to build their HQ??? :shock: If HDR builds on the Dailee residence, maybe that will light a fire under Dayly ...

The conspiracy theorist in me thinks that this out of town company will come in and tear down those buildings. They will take all of the negative press, and then after a while their project "falls through". OPAS then sweeps in and develops the land.

I have never followed soccer at any level but didn't Omaha have a team a few years ago? The Omaha Vipers lasted a season or two. They played in the MISL (Major Indoor Soccer League) and had their games at the Civic. I never went any games so I can't say much for the attendance or the environment in...

bmt

Yep, I think enough of these concepts have failed here to realize this will go nowhere. The only lower level franchise that I think could work here is a soccer club attached to Sporting KC that plays in the tier below MLS. This is something I was hoping would happen in Omaha, but unfortunately Spor...

All of UNO's engineering majors are technically part of UNL's College of Engineering. These majors include architectural, civil, computer, construction, electrical, and electronics engineering. That being said, architectural engineering is only offered on UNO's campus, and there are <20 architectura...

If HDR, which has ties to OPA, can't make it work on that lot, I really do not think we will see anything substantial there. I hope OPA does not decide to build a parking garage there. As for where HDR ends up, I wonder if there is any chance they end up in the Waitt Plaza since it is designed by th...

bmt

Well this is very disappointing, but not really that surprising. I hope we learn the truth behind everything that has happened, but I have a feeling we will never know.

HDR must not really care about being close to the airport if they plan to move further west.

bmt

I'm also curious how NHL is ranked lower for us than NBA. Maybe because Omaha did have an NBA team at one time? Still though, thinking of the huge backing of Hockey here in Omaha. The article is looking at how much money the city needs to generate in total personal income (TPI) in order to support ...

I made a model with Sketchup/Google Earth to get a crude look on how these new buildings will impact the skyline.

We don't need you to be another person spouting negativity. Be part of the solution, not the problem.

Blend in well. That's not what I was hoping to hear. So the HDR building will be a scaled up version of the Specht building? Specht building? What makes you think that will still be there? I am just being facetious. If the hq is supposed to blend in with the area, it doesn't look too good for the S...

Zach Miller, the qb from UNO, just made an amazing catch on Monday Night Football for the Bears. That was a fantastic catch and nice to hear the recognition to his Nebraska roots on national TV. Danny Woodhead also had a td catch. Strange that two guys from Nebraska had a catch in the game and neit...

It would be a shame to lose those buildings. I wonder if the facade from the Specht building could be relocated to a different location...

Great time to be a Royals fan! Especially after the consecutive 100 game losing seasons not too long ago.

I don't know if I have seen a rink with the teams benches on opposite sides. The penalty boxes are not quite in the center and will be closer to one of the benches. It will be interesting to see if this will effect play at all.

About a year ago I had an interview at ConAgra, and looking back I am very glad I didn't get the job. Half of the interview was on speaker phone with the Sr HR director who just happened to be located out of Illinois.

Am I going crazy, or did the fire alarm in pic #2 just disappear?

LEAKED! Here's the design folks. HDR servers were hacked and this was leaked earlier today. Not trying to be a dick, but it looks like HDR is getting a little cocky. However, at least the height obsessed and those insistent upon something without a flat top in Omaha won't be getting the shaft in th...

I have always liked this former Union Pacific depot in SLC.

If ConAgra were to relocate how big of an impact would this have on downtown occupancy? Not only as far as available office space goes but also residential space with ConAgra employees that currently live downtown. There have to be quite a few employees that live dt right?

A library/science center/planearium/museum bar-and-grill in a Johnny Ive designed landmark structure.

Is eomaha spilling over to RSS? or is RSS spilling over into eomaha?

Not necessarily a so called landmark, but i would love to see an iconic library downtown to take the place of the current main library. Something that is architecturally modern and technologically advanced. Maybe something along the lines of the main branch in Salt Lake City. http://i.imgur.com/uNVb...

In the Tetrad/Civic site thread it is pointed out that HDR has approximately 700 employees in Omaha. How many employees do other downtown/midtown companies like UP/Mutual of Omaha/First National Bank/Gavilon have working in their respective buildings? I am trying to get a scale of the size of the bu...
