I realize our consecutive sellout streak is a statistical joke at this point. Someone, somewhere is buying tickets for probably a few dollars a piece to keep this going. Understanding there is some logic to reducing seat count to improve comfort and fan experience, there also doing so because they ...

Hopefully Hoiberg's hometown ties and solid paycheck are enough to keep him around if Rhule leaves. I’d say his hometown is Ames. I realize he was born in Lincoln but I don’t think he was there very long as he grew up in Ames, which is why his nickname is, The Mayor. Well at least that's a school w...

If it's CPP that's less exciting. It's obviously good for the core, but just less splashy.

Bracket comes out Sunday.

Glad to hear Omaha took this task seriously ha

Good timing

That was in the very early renderings for Heartland of America.

This is fun, quite a few potential lots for an announcement.

Ted Carter almost doubled his pay and benefits from $1.2M to just shy of $2m. I think that played a far larger part in his departure.

You'd think the other two replies calling out the sarcasm in it would be enough lol

Probably for international flying maybe not domestically.

Curious how much its affected, same drive time distance as KC to us.

I would be embarrassed if this was proposed here.
I mean, that is kinda what I was thinking as well. It would be like living in a Celebrity homes neighborhood and building a $5 Million home next door. Its just out of place.

That's pretty good lol

Anyone that drops $100 a head in a place that looks like that needs some serious help. So if the Food is excellent but the place looks like |expletive| from the outside, you are in need of help, but if the place looks phenomenal on the outside but the food is |expletive|, you are OK? That is what y...

I still think if we had this on the table here or in CB, it'd be a different story. I don't think anybodys pointing and laughing at OKC if this actually happens. I say good for them, swing for the fences. I and most on here love taller buildings, but this thing is out of place. Obviously, if the ma...

The Kum & Go, the convenience store, is gone. Des Moines just announced that they are closing the last remaining Kum and Go (in downtown Des Moines) in the urban setting with no pumps. Sounds like theirs didn't do well either. Closing and not just renovating to be a "Maverick"? Also, ...

Yes, I always wonder, with people having more breathing complications, is this really worth it? It doesn't affect me so much, but there are some days, people with air sensitivity issues are really struggling. Its been happening long before we were here. Yep, wild prairies had regular fires naturall...

Eppley reporting more than a quarter inch of precip and we've got maybe a couple hours or so of light precip still.

So, roughly every 14-15 days the elevator shaft is rising one floor. I imagine it will decrease by a few days once they clear the the last level of the garage. Should be a less complicated pour once they are only dealing with the tower. I was thinking the same thing. Once the garage portion is comp...

According to the proposed pic the corner is flat, assuming surface parking. I think the white is a future phase, not parking lots. The article mentions it won't likely be torn down until a replacement is found for the corner. Ah, got it! Hopefully a lot of white is simply not planned for yet - othe...

I will if it’s short-term and there’s bad weather in the forecast.

We use it when we don’t uber there.

I prefer the new rendering, in case you all were wondering lol. To reiterate, anything is better than what is currently there. About three weeks ago a pickup with a bed liner full of yard waste and trash just simply drove up, pulled the liner full of trash out of the bed, dumped it, and drove away,...

it's simple, but i don't think it's fugly...though i wouldn't mind something a little more creative. Well at least it's better than a basic glass box, to me it's just the asymmetrical odd angles. I don't get the flow of the design but at least this building fits with the character of Aksarben becau...

Portland's is very similar to ours along the river, you don't cross state lines to reach it, though. Cincinnati's is in a completely different state.

That's why I want an Omni. They tend to build tall. I would love some more height, but depending on where they build it, it may look out of place, unless its on lot B. I dunno, I think Lot D close enough to the core to have a substantial vertical presence. It would also encourage more height on the...

Reviewing some recent MECA board minutes, one reoccurring report from Jay Noddle is progress on a truck route. MECA is watching it closely. Mr. Noddle even says there was some acquisitions by the City to make the truck route possible during one of the meetings. I think we have discussed this in par...

I too was downtown yesterday afternoon and noticed how busy the parks were. Also very encouraging -- the crowd spilled over into the Old Market. That was about as busy as I've seen the Old Market in a long time. Good to hear...I could tell it was busy over there. I was downtown on Saturday for the ...
