I go to games and even good crowds look small at Rosenblatt. 2000 people at a 24,000 seat stadium is a failure but 2000 people at a 10,000 seat stadium is a success? I guess by this logic Creighton basketball and Nebraska football draw just about the same crowds... The guy said that rosenblatt alwa...

From some chattering...

This store is pretty cool looking:

Linkin5

It looks like a silver record, but it's not. Â It's a laser-disc!

Linkin5

I have heard the Heartland pantry is going to be the new urban grocery store in the MofO Turner Park development.

Linkin5

Yeah Old Mills. Â Is this old news?

Linkin5

I heard they are building a campus by Westroads mall from somebody that interviewed with them.

Linkin5

I would say definitely not to Trader Joes. Â Most likely not to H&M, but if either of those places came that would be awesome. Â As far as Macy's, Nordstroms, and Joe's Crab Shack, why do they not already have a location in the metro??

Man, we lost a incredible pianist with wright. Â :(

who is the administrator anyway?

As somebody that has been in the original towers, visited the site 2 months after 9/11/2001, and have been back to the site about every year since then it is so sad that this site still sits empty. Â Seven years after this tragedy and little more than foundation work has been completed in the twin t...

Make an attempt to read the post before you comment. Â They said exhibition games, which is completely possible considering many places smaller than Omaha has hosted professional exhibition games for all sports.

^The Daily Nebraskan is UNL's student newspaper, so its not really that conservative.

Linkin5

My friend has a really good source that told him Omaha has the 2012 trials if Omaha wants it because of this years trials being so successful.

Creighton poses no threat as Nebraska beats them again. Â Last regular season series of the year starting this Friday at Missouri.

The Bob is old and needs to be replaced, I am totally on board with that. My argument is, the Bob can't even be filled and it's prime tenant routinely draws half-capacity crowds. To me, it makes sense to build a moden replacement that is similar in capacity. Even if Nebraska basketball does imp...

None of those are man drinks.

These are REAL MAN DRINKS

1) Gasoline and Tequila.
2) Shaving Cream and gin mixed shot
3) Keystone Light

This HUGE GIGANTIC IMMENSE ENORMOUS and whatever other adjectives you can think of series starts tonight at Haymarket field at 6:35 I believe. Â Skers MUST in my mind take at least 2 of 3 to stay in contention of first place. Â Remember that A&M has to play a Texas series still after this, so a ...

Its kind of funny to think of Lincoln as having "Little brother syndrome" seeing as though they had the largest arena in the state until the early 2000s. Â Also, I still just do not understand when people say this arena is too small. Â The Devaney center can seat about 13,000 some people, ...

I have no clue if this is placed exactly right for the location of either pinnacle or the WHS. Â But it is crazy to see how much one more building the size of FNC enhances the skyline.

Linkin5

I was just thinking...Hypothetically, if the Royals were to leave Omaha and enter a new market, what is the possibility that a different AAA affiliate would enter the Omaha market being lured by having the new stadium to play in? Â Are there any other AAA teams in the country that are not happy with...

Linkin5

I like the P&L district, I would just prefer one that falls into place over the years like the Old Market, or something similar. Â Midtown Crossing is a different situation to me because it is not in the same urban proximity as is North Downtown. Â I think Omaha should try and do something simil...

Linkin5

^I agree, I really do like the P&L district but it lacks in authenticity and has a disney land feel to it.

The Husker Baseball board hasn't been updated recently so here you go: -Huskers take 2 out of 3 against Baylor IN Waco (which is a first) -Sweep Western Illinois 2-0 -Sweep Louisiana Lafayette 2-0 They start their series with Texas A&M later this week in Lincoln, this is a HUGE series for Nebras...

Linkin5

I could be wrong but I don't think anyone was trying to bash on Creighton, just stating that without the Royals on board this stadium is going to be pretty dead throughout the year. Â No offense to Creighton, but I will be surprised if attendance nears 5,000, which is VERY good for college baseball,...

Although the Target idea would be neat, I'm hoping that this rumor is the NewStreet mixed use development many folks have mentioned. That would be some great momentum for the North Downtown area, add some great density in the heart of North Downtown, create a true walkable neighborhood, and timing...

Linkin5

Yes! That is the one I was talking about, thanks Maverick. I really like how they made the target fit into an urban landscape, this is what needs to occur in North Downtown.

Linkin5

Don't you ever underestimate your liver again, go take 5 shots for even thinking such a thing.

Linkin5

Could the three story Target be a more specific part of the broad plan the mayor was talking about? Â I would love to see a Target downtown, I can't find the picture online, but there is a really cool one in downtown St. Paul.

Linkin5

I agree!

Excerpt from OWH- Fahey must decide whether to create a special taxing district to use tax-increment financing, or TIF, for the streetcar project. Using that approach, the property tax revenue generated by new development within three blocks of the streetcar would help pay for construction of the sy...

I actually too thought the first time I saw the UNO cross country uniforms that it was a pretty obvious copy of UMiami's logo. Â You gotta admit they are pretty similar in design.

Well you could be right, I would like to know how much MECA is asking the royals to lease the place, does anybody know??

Hate to damper the good news, but BallparkDigest.com is reporting that the Omaha Royals are interested in being the main tenant in a new ballpark in Sugar Land, TX, a suburb of Houston.

This is what I use, its not anything special, but it works for the basic stuff.

StreetsOfOmaha wrote:I have to say this looks really great and I'm excited for Lincoln. Â I LOVE the public plaza.

Although, I do think they're shooting too big with their arena capacity.

Streets, you're going to be lumped together with the idiots who said Qwest was too big!

Linkin5

So Townsend plans on starting construction in late summer? Â I assume this means about mid November.

Linkin5

I wasn't crazy about the design at first but it has grown on me a little bit. Â Conseco Fieldhouse is considered one of the premiere NBA facilities so I think they could have chosen to copy worse arenas. Â If you havent watched the video yet you must, it looks like it is going to have a good atmosph...

This is awesome. Â I am going for sure, I missed the show in Sioux Fu last year and have regretted it ever since.

Why does the forum still not work for certain explorer browsers??

Jays are doing good this year, but they will be lucky to take 1 from Wichita State. Â The shockers are doing great this year.
