I wonder how many winks of the UA eye it took for the owners of Skyway to OK the deal? Why do I all of a sudden have this fear of having monstrous onion ring breath at a future UA basketball game?

As much as I want the plasma center moved...wouldn't that be one small a$$ arena if built there? haha It's kinda a small building Yes, they can't get rid of Mannie Neemer for quite a while and he and Harry Jackson (Odd Corner) would have to go. Mannie is behind the plasma center and Harry is next to it. We can't touch either of them for a while. No arena will go there, unless we start to build it in 15 or 20 years. The Skyway site is ideal for the arena. It fits in well with UA's overall plan to have a sports/athletics/recreation sub-campus within the overall UA campus. Just remember, UA started "quietly" buying up land w/o revealing the specific objective when they aquired parcels where the stadium now sits. It's like this: buy now when the opportunity strikes to avoid ED proceedings whenever possible and announce intentions later. It is exactly how UA built its on-campus stadium. Also, any location next to any highway is not only not buried, it is ideal for exposure and marketing. The location next to the highway showcases the arena to the region as opposed to a location that has more limited and parochial exposure. Why would UA want to showcase a parking deck to the highway/region? The arena being next to the highway makes UA available to many more people than the so-called, Joe Akrons of the area. The highway location is a plum and not a hinderence. It's a brass ring for the university. |

I can't believe the University is allowing that structure to sit there and rot directly across the street from the brand new stadium. Just another reason many students head to Highland Square/The Valley to live. -------------------- In Dambrot we trust.
