If that happened, you'd be hard pressed to sell out the Sokol arena.

Â yeah, not so much.

You are so smart. Thanks for giving up your time to educate us bumpkins. We really appreciate it.

Congrats to GI! Major get for the area. Should help diversify the economy out there a little bit.

Yep, I recalled correctly, according to the little Italy website. The townes at little Italy (the white houses) are between 7th and 8th. So this new development could go between 8th and 9th.

CapitalGuy

Isn't the current Townes development actually between 7th and 8th? I am all kinds of confused.

FWIW, on the issue of arena competition, the OWH article mentions that state law prohibits the construction of an arena with capacity greater than 16,000 seats anywhere in Nebraska. This law was enacted to hopefully avoid competition with the Qwest Center. I am not sure a 2k seat differential will m...

Once again, after not weighing in for a while, I agree with Big E. 90% (literally) of baseball spectators won't know the difference and some of those that do know the difference won't care. "High quality minor league baseball" - is that an oxymoron? Face facts - there is major league and e...

It's also important to note the the overall attendance of Royals games is higher than the CWS attendance by a notable margin It should be given that they play in about 3 times as many games.

Big E, for a change I completely agree with you and couldn't have said it better myself. And I do think it is funny that the very same people bitching about the loss of the Royals (except Stargazer) are also the very same people who were so adamant in demolishing the old stadium Not saying it for su...

I would agree that one challenge the building might have is not sticking out like a sore thumb. It has to be close to twice the height of the next tallest building. Still a beautiful building nonetheless.

CapitalGuy

I see the renderings now. This building is going to be a real gem for Oklahoma City. Oklahoma City certainly seems to be booming!

CapitalGuy

Cool! So I guess this will be the tallest building between Minneapolis and Denver? No renderings yet I presume?

CapitalGuy

That will stop sprawl over night

And economic growth. Then everyone will be happy. I guess.

Sorry Erik - apparently my sarcasm on the last line was too thick. I believe like you do, that losing the Royals will be irrelevant in the long run.
