There is a huge difference between the Civic and the PBA when it comes to hockey. I'm not sure how the comparison can even be made, but sure? I guess we will see down the road how it is.

Looking at the size of this property, I think it's going to be multiple buildings that may be low rise mixed with some mid range height.

Scott Court is already built there. http://www.hba1.com/projects/housing/uno_scott_court/Scott-Court-01_lg.jpg And there is an interview somewhere that the developers have said they wish they had made the park bigger. That they didn't expect the kind of events the park as attracted and that there ...

The hits just keep coming for A/V. So in addition to Pac Life we get 137 apartment units, another great office project to round out the main corner and a healthy chunk of retail. Going to be a lot going on! http://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com/omaha.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/1/f...

I'm glad to see they recieved bids. When I heard there wasn't any as of that date I was really, really worried. Given the two developer's scope of work...I'd rather side with the one who designed the innovation campus at UNL rather than the one who designed the Conagra Campus. ....also, we have a ci...

I am currently working on a project at 108th and 370. There will NOT be a straight shot from 370 to Cornhusker. Not sure the exact reasoning, but 108th would need to three bridges to cross three different creeks where 114th needs zero. So, what your saying is that I need to start building it mys...

I was there too! Wonderful performance by both Lindsey and the opening act (Archis?). Beautiful night for it too, but I don't think they were quite ready for that massive crowd.

...has there ever been so many top 8 seeds go down in one year? Here's to hoping Texas gets knocked out so we get a lot of new faces in Omaha.

Thanks Coyote!

I can address some of your questions...from what I know and observed, when they make Ice, they have to bring in a refer unit on a flatbed trailer, which is what they used to test the arena floor for ice shown in Brad's re-posted photo above. I'm told that utility connections for an on-site ice pla...

Which I did mention in my original post. I just wish it was a straight shot...it kind of intertwines and dances, then disappears and picks up after the school.

I think eventually they plan to, I remember seeing a thing a while back showing it would but I am not for sure. When I was over by there this last weekend I saw dirt being moved around but I dont know what there doing for sure I saw that too, or thought I did. I live right by there and always hoped...

I'm not entirely sure where to put this question. I don't think it fits in the Werner Park thread, or Pennant Place as they are a bit farther west? I used the search function to see what I could find but saw nothing. So I do apologize if I missed a thread where this would be applicable. Question: Ha...

MadMartin8

Glad I checked again before posting. Thanks Coyote for moving. Thanks for replying, can you point to an article stating a hockey rink was a last thought addition and squeezed in? I suppose the idea that they didn't even add in some of the needed infrastructure until after just to "test", o...

Port Nebraska? Is this the sinking of Ashland thing? (I tried to navigate that site, but it's a terrible layout on a mobile...) The one and only Ashland area amusement park. After all these years it still has an internet presence. I'll have to go and figure out when their site expires and turns int...

A top 3 of IU, Maryland and NU isn't a terrible conference. Certainly better than they were a few years ago. And really Illinois isn't too far off, they went down to Florida and beat the Gators twice this season. MSU, Michigan and OSU are good enough for a northern conference and Rutgers did dec...

I'm curious.. If the companies on the Fortune private list became public, would they make the 500 list?

Companies like Kiewit, First Data?

Is Maryland loaded with seniors? Or can they expect sustained success? That really isn't applicable to baseball. Few good players make it to their senior year, heck good players don't even make it to college these days... If the University is willing to invest in the program might be a better quest...

Metro Crossing really has turned out to be a pretty good deal for CB. It truly has. Unfortunately it was at the expense of the Mall of the Bluffs, but I am glad to see the continued growth of Metro Crossing. The Marketplace off of S. 24th St. where Pennys is hasn't fared as well, but overall it i...

Wow, Lorde for an open air amphitheter that holds on 4,000? Did the concert managers have to hold someone hostage?

I am curious to see if it somehow breaks an area record for a sellout time.

Breaking even on the demo costs just by selling the steel inside? Wow. That's a pretty decent situation they found there.

I may have missed the time table, but estimate completion date?

MadMartin8

I know we are getting a little off topic, again, but did they really originally design PBA to include a hockey rink, or after discussion did they measure and put together a mock rink to see how it retro fitted? It was built first with basketball in mind, with hockey seen as a last minute item if th...

From the Lincolon Journal Star story: "They’ve done a great job. State wrestling has gotten better every year I’ve been on the board,” Henrichs said. “But in talking to fans and teams in our area, they would much rather go to Lincoln." Well duh, they're from Lincoln, of course they want it...

It would be great if someone else would buy the property and develop it the right way without having to come hat in hand for anything other than TIF. It's far, far too big of a property for anyone to develop without some incentives like tif. I'd rather give TIF than have a vacant mall, but that's j...

With the way Gretna and the surrounding areas are growing, I have a feeling that this place will be busy for a long while.

If you hit the gunfire, you might be dead. So it's probably best that you didn't.

We have gone numerous times and I don't ever feel like it is anywhere near a ghost town. I don't feel it is an accurate picture comparing to Jordan Creek. One is a mall and another is an outlet center I feel this will remain successful I think the comparison COULD fit, if they diversify the area...

I was out at the Nebraska Outlet Mall a couple of Sundays ago and it was almost a ghost town. Anyone that thinks this mall is not going to flop is crazy!

The increased traffic complaint is one of the most laughable arguments I have ever seen when considering where this is located. It's right next to the busiest intersection in Omaha, and I'd venture to say 80%+ of the traffic won't even go into their pretentious neighborhood anyways as the easiest ro...

I'd be surprised if Nebraska made it out of the regional. CSF and Okla St are tough draws.
