Topeka & Joplin in the 1950's? That's shocking. My "other parents" lived in Topeka growing up, and when they first got transferred to Topeka around 1987 from South FL, my stepmother literally bawled when she saw their crummy, tacky White Lakes Mall. West Ridge Mall was soon built afte...

The guys that own that land seem really odd. They've tried to really screw that place up in my opinion. I don't have a lot of confidence in them. They tried to prevent Von Maur coming in, Cheesecake Factory etc. Those have been positives for the mall including their land. Will be interesting to see ...

The weird thing is, I could see NU making the tournament next year and Miles still being let go. This would be based on what he has coming back, what he has coming in and such. I think the one year extension is going to make it very difficult to hire a top quality assistant to replace Hunter.

Uffda: If Sioux Falls were a 100% classic "Midwest City" in every little way, you wouldn't have the housing styles you do there. It's influenced by the North a bit, and the "Dakotas thing." (I can go to any American city, and look at their new housing styles being built, and 100...

I just watched a live feed of Bill Moos speaking and answering questions at the Omaha Press Club. He was asked about baseball and Darin Erstad. I don't think Erstad is going anywhere. Moos gave a lot more of a pro Erstad answer than the dreaded vote of confidence.

I'm wondering if they moved from New York, NY to Cincinatti, OH at least partly because the downward steps the store took in prestige & class & perception as the years unfolded with a reshuffling of business & ownership. Cincinatti is not only cheaper, but the HQ makes more sense to me ...

They are building on to the concourse at Werner Park. Near the exit on the 3rd base side. They are adding a 2nd permanent team store.

Sioux Falls has a Macy's? When I mentioned a Macy's being in a smaller, less sophisticated city than Omaha, I was thinking of another town. Sioux Falls is practically "Cheyenne East." Even more so: Omaha & Des Moines shouldn't waste a day feeling like they are "not good enough&qu...

I would be willing to bet it's the highest ever for a team coming off a losing season.....

Salvy and Gordon starting again for Omaha today. Also Clay Buchholz is Omaha’s starting pitcher as well.

If he had had these issues at Creighton I think the getting paid part would be seriously in doubt. To me this is exactly why you turn pro if you can go in the first round. We don't know yet if he can play in the NBA because he really hasn't been healthy enough to showcase his talents (or lack there ...

I shop at Younkers quite a lot. I will just end up hitting Macy's more when in KC. They are the closest option to replace Younkers for me.

It's a long shot but it would be awesome if they could get Macy's into that space. These days, Macy’s is only a rung or two higher than Kohl’s, given the mediocre lines of merchandise it now carries in locations outside the remaining big city downtown flagships. It thrives (in relative terms) more ...

Greg S

First I do trust Bill Moos. That being said, a one year deal seemed to me to be the worst option. If he wanted to make a change make a change. I think we are deep enough into the Miles era to make that call. If he was going to do an extension I would have gone 2 or 3 years. It just leaves so much un...

Greg S

Chasers play a double header tonight. I was not planning on going but might be worth it to see Salvy. My fear and assumption is he plays game one which starts at 5.

Good for UNO. They need to beat NU this year. Hopefully UNO can get rolling again in conference play. Nebraska has not been this bad in awhile.

Assuming not just the championships but at the earlier round games too?

It's a long shot but it would be awesome if they could get Macy's into that space. I know they still opened some new stores in 2017, while closing a bunch of others. Not sure if they are opening any new ones in 2018 but Westroads would be an ideal way to enter market and they would not have to build...

Mall of the Bluffs was also a General Growth Property

Seems somewhat counter intuitive, placing regional headquarters, for the region your corporate headquarters is in, in another city other than your corporate headquarters. And, oh buy the way, we also need two additional 120,000 square foot buildings in KC as well. Beginning of the end in Omaha? Int...

Greg S

I don't blame him. Anyone stuck on the sinking ship known as the USS Tim Miles would be an absolute fool to not grab a lifesaver and get the heck out of there. Look for Copeland and Palmer to do the same. I wonder how much the uncertainty of the last few years (with Miles not getting extended) and ...

Greg S

I don't like the fact that TD sits empty for probably 330 days a year, but an independent baseball team (which is what would have landed there since the AAA Storm Chasers are still in town) wouldn't have drawn people from outside the Omaha area. Independent baseball teams are lucky to average more ...

I know the guys from Slowdown went on record saying they were disappointed the minor league stadium fell through. TD gives that area a big 2 week spike but doesn't draw much else. The minor league team would have at least brought people to the area consistently over 5 months. As we have seen with th...

Greg S

Yeah, supposedly they have an investor that may come in and prevent this but if that falls through they were required to give advance notice on the closures. Reuters, citing people familiar with the matter, reported that Namdar Realty Group, of Great Neck, N.Y., and Washington Prime Group, of Columb...

Chasers playing another double header today, in place of game tomorrow with more snow forecast. Ticket prices also reduced for today.

Awful weather for first homestand.

I am glad Steak and Shake is coming but disappointed that it was part of a bid over Runza. Runza gives so much more overall to support UNL. Crazy that it was not factored into decision.

Greg

My read on it was that they wanted to looking into building brand new on the Rosenblatt site. Remember the initial plans for a downtown stadium were going to be for a minor league stadium for the O Royals. Then the CWS/NCAA got involved. First it was going to be $50 million with movable seats. The N...

It's weird that the World Herald put this out again yesterday like it was new since they had reported it a few weeks ago.

Yeah this is as big of a hire as UNO has had since Dean Blais. I never thought they'd be able to bring in a coach for soccer with the pedigree of Warming. If they were going to lose Mims, this is almost a best case scenario. I can see UNO soccer going to the next level. Hopefully they keep increasin...

With Shepherd, they must have different transfer rules than the men? She played 2 years at NU then transfers and plays right away. I didn't realize she transferred in high school too.

Nice to see it worked out for her.

Another article on Xavier. Every one seems to believe he will make an instant impact:

Seemed like everyone won with her transferring. Huge turn around for Nebraska, and she and Notre Dame having tremendous success.

Quick note to any UNO hockey season ticket holders. A renewal email went out a few weeks ago. Mine went to spam. They are not mailing out notices and the deadline is April 1. Greg I don't think this is exactly right. My email says that anyone who hasn't paid by April 2nd will receive a physical inv...

The polar bear exhibit where Bam Bam is going in KC is real nice. Big upgrade.

Can't wait to see what Omaha's new one looks like in a few years.
