  1. But this one is a GIANT BOMB.
  2. There is at least one at Progressive Field.
  3. LibertyBlvd replied to a post in a topic in Sports Talk
    Cavs lose to the lowly Trailblazers. Good grief.
  4. I don't remember that. It must have happened before I was there.
  5. ^ That's the old Cook United building. I worked there from the mid 70s until 1987 when they shut down.
  6. Definitely need a high rise there to fill the gap in the skyline.
  7. ^ There is an old thread on city skylines in City Photos - Ohio. Getting back on topic, HQ topping out should be happening soon. Has a date been announced?
  8. Good news. Now let's hope the flight goes daily next year, at least for the summer.
  9. The question is how are young teens getting guns?
  10. FYI there is a separate thread for SHW research center. As for the HQ tower, I wonder how much taller it could have been without needing a more costly foundation?
  11. I'd like to see a rendering of a hi rise residential building on the Garfield site. The views from there would be quite nice.
  12. I'd be OK with a jail like that downtown.
  13. Is anything planned for the site?
  14. Why? They don't want to build a high rise jail here.
  15. A while back, there was a proposal to convert part of AT&T building to a hotel. Apparently, it never happened.
  16. Maybe we can shame Cliffs into building a new HQ on the site.
  17. Wow, that parking crater is really huge now. Let's hope something gets built there soon.

  19. But keep in mind there are other events held at Wolstein besides basketball - concerts, Cirque du Solei, etc.
  20. Here is a list of the largest attendance for Vikings basketball at Wolstein Center (from Wikipedia): And in the 1980s, prior to Wolstein Center, the Vikings played some games vs prominent opponents at Public Auditorium and drew over 7,000 on a few occasions. The Cleveland Crunch indoor soccer team played at Wolstein Center from 1990-2005 and I believe their games were well attended. There are other non-sporting events held at Wolstein throughout the year, but I am not aware of any stats on attendance for those events.
  21. Phipps to Pitts on the blitz. Great game!
  22. Cockroft had already missed two field goals and an extra point and he would have been kicking into the open end of the stadium and a swirling wind. Backup QB Paul McDonald was the holder and he botched the hold a couple times because he was wearing gloves.
  23. But it would be wise to size it for events outside of the basketball season. And hopefully a resurgence of the men's basketball program. If they are content with the Vikings playing in front of 1,500 fans, they might as well go back to Woodling Gym.
  24. I think the arena should be a little larger, maybe around 7,000. That way, it would be capable of attracting events requiring something larger than one of the Playhouse Square theaters but not as large as RMFH. Hopefully the Vikings can regain the prominence they achieved during the Mackey era and start attracting some big name competition, and larger crowds. Not sure if the Crunch (indoor soccer team) has any interest in returning downtown. They used to play at Wolstein Center many years ago and I believe they were attracting some decent crowds. By the way, where is the money coming from to fund the master plan?
