Still pretty impressive that they will add over 700 units. And the city is building a parking garage on the west side of the block and NuStyle will build apts on top of that.

Hopefully the 11th and Harney development is it. If not, maybe the facility for the police and fire headquarters. If it’s 11th and Harney, please let it be at least 10 stories tall.

That info from Creighton doesn't specify an extension date, but I have heard 5 years, since Mac will be 65 then and set to retire possibly.

He is going to be one of the highest paid coaches in the Big East and Top 20 in the country.
