Re: OKC 2nd Tallest Skyscraper in the USA
The Vortex Tower seemed more realistic and aesthetically pleasing and that was one of the most hideous projects ever.

Re: Downtown Soccer Stadium (Abbott Drive)
The design is really nice. The only negative I’ll say is any of the CHI parking lots would have been a much better location. I think you’d have to pry those out of MECA’s cold, dead hands. Very true, I have a feeling the lots are going to stay undeveloped for a long time. Really hope I am wrong.

The Dakota Dome used to have the same setup for basketball as the Kibbie Dome in Idaho. It is indeed an awful setup for basketball and creates a terrible atmosphere.

Re: Canopy Street (The Yard Lincoln)
I am still perplexed by the Capitol District.

I haven't been down there lat...

Just my $.02.

I am pretty confused by their entire business model. Is their main location even doing well?
