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...!
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.

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!

Overall very, very nice. 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) I can't wait to go there next year when Creighton plays Nebraska.
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.
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.
"During World War II, the building was leased to Russell Stover and by the 1950s they were Lincoln's second largest employer, making a quarter million pounds of candy a week."
Here are some exterior shots from today.NovakOmaha wrote:While I haven't been to all Big10 arenas it isnt hard to say that this is now the nicest arena in the big 10. Outstanding shot. Maybe you could get some from the outside?
Wow, either I have not seen that rendering or I haven't been paying attention but I would guess they decided not to put that in.Linkin5 wrote:Collin, do you know anything about the art piece that was in this rendering?
It kind of looks like a landing platform for UFO's. Damn. Lincoln beat us on the Intergalactic Airport as well!!guitarguy wrote:Hopefully this doesn't start melting the cars that drive by.. would be such a waste of a beautiful stadium..
