I imagine they don't need to do a full bowl now and decided to keep the south end open for the view.

Social clubs like this are big in a lot of cities

As a supplement to my point, have a little Jan Gehl urban design text that's pretty easy to read

I showed my kids the renderings and told them about where it'd be and stuff, and they were excited. They said "it's right by the luminarium and that big playground!" I think this is a lot better spot than some folks are giving it credit for. I mean, honestly, when it's nice out, we go dow...

Regular inflation, post pandemic inflation, supply chain issues, starting fast food wages at $15/hr. Take your pick. I also feel some companies have used this period of high inflation as an excuse to jack prices. They were going to raise prices anyway as a result of inflation, but some evil genius ...

I think Raising Cane's entire menu is just a delivery system for Cane's Sauce. It's frowned upon to just get a large beverage cup, fill it with Cane's Sauce, and just drink it. However, shoveling that same amount of Cane's Sauce into your mouth using Chicken Fingers as scoops is entirely acceptable...

Reading through a 2008 Best Practices in Transportation study done by the NYC DOT to envision transportation in 2030, and they mention Omaha in a list of cities that had recently proposed modern streetcars. Woof.

I imagine a not insignificant portion of OMA’s cost is that it’s basically a full reconstruction, particularly with the utility plant,

And as an aside, I gotta say, despite a lot of valid criticisms recently about her time spent outside of the city, Stothert has got to be one of the most impressive mayors Omaha has had, downtown development wise. I even say this as a pretty firm progressive, if she ran again and I was voting in Oma...

These renderings feel rather disconnected. Like how is this image from a diagonal walkway into one of the ends of the stadium: https://i.postimg.cc/yDwxFkhB/Clean-Shot-2024-01-26-at-14-48-02.png Possible with this as the stadium layout: https://i.postimg.cc/dDBhzQFm/Clean-Shot-2024-01-26-at-14-46-4...

That’s quite the portfolio. It’s exciting to have more national developers enter the Omaha scene.

In theory I love the idea of light rail to the airport, especially if it connects to this new development. But the more I think about it, I wonder if it would get enough use to justify it. Obviously with some of the big NCAA events at CHI, CWS , Berkshire Hathaway meeting, and the occasional conven...

Sheees this things almost in Carter lake. I’m all for it though the infill will come in do time. A circulator may help in the mean time. I love they optimizing the river front to this extent. The drive down the string-of-pearls will be impressive in a few years. I challenge you all to walk from Har...

This could have been, like, 9 mid-rises instead and then OKC could have, you know, a skyline. Yeah, I keep thinking this same thing. And, actually they would probably still be more like high rises than mid-rises. Also, it would have been nice if they could have just bought the land where the curren...

I wouldn't be surprised if Eppley got expanded again years from now. Maybe something like this? I know it's stupid and unrealistic and more than likely won't ever happen, but I thought I'd try it anyway. If they were to do it, they'd have to close up a couple of runways and build new ones several f...

I think you’d have to pry those out of MECA’s cold, dead hands.

Love the incorporation of the residential and hotel into the stadium structure. And another 2026 opening! 2026 is gonna be a wild year

7,000 seat stadium, 330 residential units, 140 room hotel, 100,000 sqft retail. They’ve also noted this will be a USL Championship stadium, so moving up a tier

What time is the press conference? Been trying to find info on social media with no luck

Garrett

As others have said, with Stothert and McDonnell both being there, and Union saying they want a downtown stadium, it sounds like it’ll be somewhere we’ll be pleased with.

Garrett

Fingers crossed! We’ll see tomorrow.

God I need to see that pro forma where this makes any sense

I'm so glad that gasoline freely flows up from underground in peaceful countries. Its kind off scary how we have become dependent on some countries that are not known to be friendly for oil, while the US reduces its oil production. Electric cars are not a proper solution either. The previous presid...

South Concourse won't be rebuilt, right? Just renovated? It appears that both existing concourses are being demo'd and rebuilt anew, per the OWH video. He literally says "renovate the south concourse" in that video. He replaced the blocks both for construction and renovations (the north a...

“We have great people in Nebraska but not great things,” said Gretna Mayor Mike Evans. “Maybe we can merge the two here.”

Dude, I'm stoked to see this happen. I'm actually shocked their able to do as much as their proposing in the space they currently have. I would have thought our airport would have to be relocated in order to start accommodating international travel and more flights but they've obviously done their ...

https://www.airliners.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1490585 They are talking about the terminal in this forum too. I don't know why people are so concerned about the streetcar expanding to the airport. It will almost certainly never happen. It is just too expensive and that mode of transportati...

2026-2027 is really gonna be the year to watch, development wise

And here's the big one, a bit low quality from the article, but I don't see it in the website.

It looks like United, Delta and American all moved to more mainline jets from regional. I had a few minutes and extrapolated out a few years, using the 11.5% growth rate. Here's what I came up with: Over 7 million in 2026 Over 10 million in 2028 and on and on. By 2050 218,836,311 Might want to fire...

Wow! Thanks for compiling all of this because it’s great to see how quickly things can change. Is the booming following existing/ old transit or is it newer stuff? It’s building on decades of momentum surrounding transit stops. This sort of development didn’t happen over night but has been decades ...

This ending is quite telling.
