One thing I don't like, and one thing that I think diminishes the appearance of its size on the Omaha side, is the way it turns into a "land bridge" as it curls around. I wish they weren't doing that, but oh well. I still love it. Streets, that "Land bridge" area is aways from...

Children's Hospital, UNMC tighten their bond http://www.omaha.com/index.php?u_page=1219&u_sid=10120973 If your child is seen by a specialist at Children's Hospital, chances are the doctor is on the faculty at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. That's part of a working relationship that ...

#1 Nebraska sweeps #3 Penn State 3-0 Â In front of 13,081

Its just perspective, the pics the towers look huge:

MTO the bridge is NOT small. Â Just wait until you are up on it. Â Its freaking huge.

BTW, the caps are 25 feet tall.

It looks to be owned by Gallup according to the image below. Â I also overlaid the sewers on to the lot to clear up another rumor, the lot is very usable:

omahahawk wrote:As far as I can tell, it looks like they pretty much got both towers at about the same stage. Anybody, hear if they are going to be putting the caps on this week or sometime soon?

By then end of September the caps should be here.

I was down there looking arouind. Â If they put the Ballpark close to Abbot, there is plenty of room for expansion.

Nice photos aroundomaha!

Nice Photos!

I am not lazy and I don't mind walking, god knows I do it downtown all the time. Â What I am getting at is why get rid of perfectly good parking spots? Â I am sure neighbors get tired of people always parking in front of their houses. Â I understand building a parking garage would be a good thing, b...

I like it, the idea of a transit district. Â It gives more of an identity than MAT and could be inclusive of all the local communities in the "District"

The walls are up, the sign is up, but the "Entrance" is not done. I think they are going to be using some stone or brick. Â I have seen much worse.

looks Good Zephyr!

Let me add on to Big E's List 1) MECA is in the dark 2) Local business owners are in the dark 3) The proposal to the NCAA is significantly different from anything that the city had shown publicly prior to the official presentation 4) Omaha Royals are in the Dark 5) Creighton University is in the Dark

I can't believe how much time people spend on a video game. Â However people probably say the same thing about me just change video game to forum... Â At least I am multitasking while I do this. Â Usually posting while photos are processing!

the1wags wrote:You need to set the white balance to one thing like sunny, cloudy, etc because auto white balance will often make the sky change shades too much to stitch and look good.

I didn't realize that until it was too late. Â I usually have it one something other than auto, it makes ALL photos look better.

Thanks, its 9 photos and at 100% resolution is 130" wide!

Since bradley414 recommended a program to the1wags who recommended it to me I have been a stitching fool. Â Just wait!

So the crane is on the south west corner of the lot, right?

Are you sure, I am trying to place the lot and I think the building will be just to the left of the crane right? Â DTO, get to your renderings!

I love the Big Show even more now that it's bigger. I miss Trav in the mornings though. No kidding, there is nothing on from 10 to 11.

Here is Saturday's game:

Nice! Â Is that the one from Creighton or do we have 4 now?

Great Pics UNO Student!

There was just a story on Action3news. Â Film Streams want it on the Qwest Lot for more development to occur on the empty lots. Â The homeless shelter is worried the city would want them to move.

DTO, you got a daylight shot of the tower crane? Â You can see it in you moon picture.

Nice, you even got Omaha's newest tower Crane!

I am not saying I want or would support a dome, it just wouldn't surprise me if they asked for one.

A dome... doubt it? Â However I could see the NCAA pushing for a retractable roof so ensure no rain delays.

I was just saying that with all the current proposals its an outdoor stadium which can't look in to the sun.

From this picture it looks like the stadium could be far enough away from the Qwest Center that there would be a good view of DT. Almost like what the Abbot Drive view is like. If you angled home plate facing due south that would have killer views. Can't, the sun. Â Stadiums face south east, east, ...
