maybe maybe not
How many signatures are required?
I think 6k
Referendum could happen. But TIf will not go away even if they decide to not build stadium. It will be extended to continue to build out that area. That is part of the original tif deal that brought target and crest and is not tied to stadium project.
Is it? I think that TIF has expired already.
Why? What difference does it make?
I have always loved COLLEGE basketball, the campus feel, the energy of the students, the collective camaraderie of the University of Oklahoma. I don't need restaurants or shopping to enhance my basketball experience. I go to watch basketball in a collegiate setting, not a corporate one. I honestly couldn't care less about growing the city of Norman. I'm don't really understand how needing a new basketball arena got so entwined with promoting the City of Norman. Sometimes I can't tell if Joe C is the athletic director of OU or the President of the Norman Chamber of Commerce when he discusses a new arena. But as I said, I'm that old guy nostalgic for the past and it is quickly disintegrating as is "college" sports, so the whole thing gives me a collective.............ugh.
did you really have the "campus feel" going to the LNC ??
Not as much truthfully but it was on campus still and certainly more than I will going to Norman's economic development area. If that's all you get out of my response you miss the point. As I said, I don't expect all to agree and as they say "you can't stop progress", it's just not progress in my world.
in an ideal world i think pretty much most of OU bball fans and the administration would rather have a new stadium ON campus .. (at the NE corner of Brooks and Jenkins)
This looks absolutely amazing. If this gets done I will be back in Oklahoma to attend some games. If it doesn't I'll be back in Oklahoma but may not go to the LNC dump.
