Darn, I was hoping for a different aging star from the 1980s for the MAJOR announcement. He seems to like Nebraska, he's played at the CLC somewhere around 6.022 x 10^23 times.

6.022 x 10^23 = 4. Â Excellent! Â That should impress the ladies.MadMartin8 wrote:Steve wrote:Bon Jovi for a 2nd Nebraska appearance. October 20th.Coyote wrote:Another MAJOR concert announcement due out tomorrow...!

Thanks! Yes, that one concourse looks very tight! I don't think it is like that all the way around but I don't think I walked on that level so I'm not sure if it is like that the whole way around. I was planning on going back tomorrow when there is less people so I will take a better look then!MadMartin8 wrote:Collin you take some gorgeous pictures.
Also....do those concourses look... a little thin? Or is it just optics with how the outer wall curves?
My thoughs exactly!RNcyanide wrote:Holy wow. Love it!
No problem! Haha I was worried I wouldn't make it to my night class but I made a last minute change to my schedule and decided to change my one of specializations so I no longer needed that classCoyote wrote:Thanks Collin! Great pics. Did you skip classes? :-)

Interesting, so it isn't just my bad eyes. I'll be curious to see how well this works with the people on that level.Collin wrote:Thanks! Yes, that one concourse looks very tight!

They sure made that thing go UP UP UP. That seating up at the top you might need oxygen.
And I wonder what that structure made on concrete at the open end is for (the one that has Bryan Health(?) on it). Facilitating the future expansion?

That is funny...that was my exact comment while looking at that picture.Collin wrote:Yup they are suppose to be giant chocolates. I was wondering the same thing.... Seems strange to meAxel wrote:
... Advertising Omaha in Lincoln?
Also, are those supposed to look like chocolate?
Overall very, very nice. Â Reminds me of the Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, but I think Lincoln did a much better job on this and the surrounding area (that and the fact that Des Moines has no major tenant in their building) Â I can't wait to go there next year when Creighton plays Nebraska.

Also, Bon Jovi just announced on twitter they are coming in October. Â Not a band I like but I'm sure some will be excited.

Internationally known artist Donald Lipski will craft a giant box of chocolates as the major piece of artwork for the Pinnacle Bank Arena's south lobby.
The "Candy Box" will celebrate Lincoln's history as a candy manufacturing town, and individual candy pieces will be in shapes important to arena events and to the city's culture and history, according to the artist’s proposal.
For the record NEBUGEATER does not equal BUGEATER !!!!!!!
Whether that's accurate with the original intent or not I don't know, but I can see where the idea was to have a "Nebraska" feel to the artwork. Â Personally, I enjoy Omaha and have nothing but respect for the growth that area has seen over the last 15+ years. Â Without the "push" from that I don't think Lincoln would have been so eager to try and move forward a bit. Â I don't think the majority feel a need for Lincoln vs. Omaha...nebugeater wrote:Yes, those are the Omaha logo on some of the chocolates. I read somwhere that it was a token of coporation between Lincoln and Omaha.
So it has been dubbed 'the candy box' and if you look at each piece of chocolate you'll notice they have images of the states' strengths. You'll notice the state capitol, a diploma, a picture of president Lincoln which the city was named after. You will also notice a locomotive, because it used to be a rail yard and giving praise to UP; They really wanted to put O! on a number of the pieces to acknowledge Nebraska's largest and biggest economic engine in the state! Consider it less as a competition, but more as a collaboration for the state of Nebraska itself! Hope the information about the O! helped  :)

Having been to a number of Big10 arenas PBA and Haymarket is going to really impress opposing teams and fans. Â That is job 1 for the area. Â There are still a fair amount of non Nebraska Big 10 people who snicker at Nebraska, when they give it any thought at all. Â Things like "Are there many people there?", "Why would anyone want to live there?" and my favorite "I bet the kids don't even bother to pack when they graduate". Â There is a real attitude from University of Michigan grads. Â With them its either you are a Michigan grad or you couldn't get accepted and then it doesn't matter where you went because you aren't a Michigan grad. Â I hope NU fills the PBA for Indiana, Michigan & Michigan State the first time they come to town. Â Show 'em us hicks have game.
