Some comments on this article were, ambitious I guess. Â They seemed pretty far fetched to me.

Really? Â He needs more attainable goals, maybe shoot for a Benson activity level before trying to rival downtown Omaha.Now that the arena is in place, the city is considering how to use it as a starting point to realize the original revitalization goals.
To foster that development, the city is currently working on a 10-year plan that will, among other things, re-imagine Country Club Road — a six-block stretch of tree-lined street that leads to Ralston's historic downtown. Groesser sees it as a walkway that could eventually rival downtown Omaha in terms of accessibility and atmosphere.
Again, not happening. Â That "kind of feel" includes hundreds of millions in development and city investment over decades. Â I get that the Ralston mayor is excited for their arena, but he is just getting crazy here. Â I think one of the city's councilmen have much more realistic goals here.“It's a really walkable distance,” Groesser said. “That's shorter than the walk from the Old Market to the CenturyLink Center. I can see the arena and our downtown area taking on that kind of a feel.”
A newer strip-mall development on the east side of the intersection of 72nd and Q Streets that currently sits mostly empty will be much easier to fill with increased traffic for some 200 days each year, said Krause.

They will only lose UNO men's basketball. Â I think the Lancers and Beef are big enough draws to keep this place going. Â Everything else like LFL(if that survives) Roller Girls, and maybe NBA D-League are nice extras for them. Â On top of a few concerts and trade shows a year.MadMartin8 wrote:Now that UNO's arena is in the works, I have a feeling this one is going to go the way of the MAC.

Ralston will never be annexed. Â That was decided decades ago. Â Elkhorn was perceived as blocking Omaha's future growth. Â Ralston isn't blocking anything.almighty_tuna wrote:Maybe, but Omaha won't annex them beforehand like they did with Elkhorn.jessep28 wrote:Ralston's 10 year plan should be to bring their population above the annexation threshold, if possible.

They are putting up a pretty sizeable sign next to Ralston Keno, for the arena. Â Today they installed Daktronics boards on both sides. Â They probably measure about 5 feet wide and 20 feet tall. Â Hopefully they will look good once they are up and working. Â Also hoping they don't use them as a digital billboard with lots of other ads.
At least 20, probably closer to 30, its noticablly taller than the streetlight next to it. Â Its also as wide as a full size van is long so closer to 15' wideskinzfan23 wrote:They are putting up a pretty sizeable sign next to Ralston Keno, for the arena.

From last Tuesday:skinzfan23 wrote:Yeah you are probably right. They put a sign for the Ralston Arena on top of the steel framing today. Not nearly as impressive as the Daktronics board they just installed.
