Omaha sets the bar high for NCAA Tournament at Sprint Center in 2009 “Omaha has done a terrific job in every way,” said Slive, the commissioner of the Southeastern Conference. “They’ve earned their right to get into a rotation.” There is no rotation, per se, for NCAA events, just host sites that do...

fahey is a great mayor in the sense that he wants to progress and build the hype of the city so that we attract people to come here. But they way he's been trying to sell the whole stadium deal is pretty sad. If we gave him the charm and charisma of obama the whole city would be on board already. Bu...

guitarguy

wow now that is what we need more of downtown big brightly illuminated shops on the ground level of a mixed use development with apartments and condo's!!

guitarguy

lol i hope you fella's realize that the link on the first post had htttp instead of http which makes it an invalid web address

guitarguy

ya it seems with the 'slightly' warmer weather lately they've been hauling some serious |expletive| on it lately. hopefully it gets short enough they can just use the wrecking ball on it and blast the rest of it down in a few days

guitarguy

im guessing after a year or two in the new stadium this will become a reality but probably not built by 2012

guitarguy

And in Omaha's latest cult news.... Only 100 people showed up for the save rosenshat rally. haha i did think that was pretty funny i half expected thousands with how turbulent this issue has been lately but now that the details are out i think its starting to settle down and people are starting to ...

lol you also have to remember that was when they were giving the building heck with the big wrecking ball though haha

guitarguy

i know it seems like it has been taking a while but it was a pretty brutal cold winter this year so that could be why they didn't go as fast as they could also they have only been working on demo for about 9 months so far and i think they are finally finding a flow with it and its been coming down r...

guitarguy

they have had it for a while they had a better one with a live feed and the ability to zoom on things before but now they have just a single picture that ive noticed is updated only once every few days but i guess its better than nothing

guitarguy

in todays paper it quoted gary gernandt saying this " Gernandt doesn't think council approval of the downtown stadium is a done deal. He said the council can reject the plan with a clear conscience. Any fallout for the CWS is Fahey's responsibility, because the mayor pushed for the plan in the ...

guitarguy

that is true but im still paying over 20 percent of my income away to taxes that strikes me as considerably more than most people pay for their jobs. I bet you are paying more than that as a server. Â Picking up both halves of Federal employment tax is 15% by itself. Â However, Federal taxes are th...

This just sickens me that people complain about taxes when we have one of the lowest living costs in the nation. -To take one from Brad: For the 100000000th time, our taxes are in the top 10 HIGHEST in the country. Â You can have the lowest living costs in the world, but if the government takes 90%...

guitarguy

yes stadiums either face southeast or northeast because it minimizes the exposure to the sun

ya i dont really think this site would be a good pick for a "density" site maybe more so the swanson factory lot for that i think with the proximity to the cluster of the towers here a really tall tower would be the only thing i would like to see.
