that would be the perfect spot for a legit casino
Yeah folks it's right next to Remington Park...44/35...hello. So NOT C2S and next door to a casino!
It continues to amaze me that some posters prefer to make personal/ego points rather than to discuss the issues involved in a substantive and meaningful way. There sometimes seems to be a "pump me up" (because I obviously know what I'm talking about) which is often combined with a "put you down" (because you obviously don't) sort of mentality. Just an observation.
Mea culpa Doug. I just enjoyed reading through the first few posts because a few posters showed a good, intelligent use of irony (I felt like ljbab's "right over bomber's head" had clever undertones, too. Let's all be more intelligent and clever and lighten up, and we'll all have more fun on here.
After reading bomber's post, I felt like it was a shame that somebody missed out on the joke, especially because I'm pretty sure bomber was on these forums back when that casino project first broke.
that casino project was much further north .. between britton and wilshire ..

I kinda wish this a private developer had decided to build some thing in stead the city.
Hmmm. NE OKC has trees, hills, easy access to two interstates, inexpensive land for development near major cultural and entertainment attractions. No wonder why some wouldn't want to invest there. LOL.
I took this photo last week... This project is really coming along.
$1.4 million permit today for new park trails, canopies, amphitheater, and sheds as a part of this project.
The terrain here is really beautiful -- I hope this gets used.

The Energy will be adding a training facility to this campus!
Press Release
The Energy just announced they will be building their training facility at this location:
Energy FC
Commitment & investment by the Oklahoma City Energy FC with a top notch $6.5 million MLS style training facility. Put a competitive product on the field and partner with the City of OKC to get an MLS ready stadium (20,000-seater) on the riverfront for MAPS VI. You will have the 'partners' to invest.
We got NHL-NBA ready, now let's get ready for the MLS: Oklahoma City to Study Feasibility of Future MLS Stadium - Athletic BusinessHe said it will take the teamwork of fans, the city, the community, and the corporate community to bring an MLS team to the city.
Even though I have been public about not pursuing MLS, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they put a stadium in the "adventure district" in the area of this practice facility. That north parking lot of Remington plus that vacant land is more than enough space for an mls stadium (using Toyota field footprint in Frisco). Land is probably cheaper too and you wouldn't have to worry about parking if you work out a deal with Remington.
Prodigal has been long term planning since the beginning. They knew they were moving to Taft while they were renovating Pribil Stadium. All that being said, the front office is already in discussions with the city for a downtown MLS-ready stadium.
They are going from a 2,000 capacity stadium to an 8,000 capacity stadium at Taft for this upcoming 2015 season. If I may, I encourage everyone to come out and support the Energy this season at Taft. The more attendance we have, the closer we are to convincing the city we are ready to take that next step.
