Re: Oaks Station Place

Residential permit parking on nearby streets didn't kill Locavore. Oaks Station Place not including enough parking for their commercial space did. They knew before they built this building that on-street parking isn't allowed on 46th (adjacent to the development anyways) and the surrounding streets...

Re: Minnesota Multi Purpose Stadium

Why then did the MLS locate the most recent franchise in Atlanta's NFL stadium?
MLS needed a second team in the Southeast to join Orlando and there wasn't another feasible option for a stadium.

Re: Farmers Market Soccer Stadium

Too bad it can't just go indoors *when needed*, which is how Gopher baseball and the MSHSL will use the new "People's Stadium" when season dictates climate control. That would seem to be a good solution, but from a business perspective the two ownership groups would have to come to a comp...

This was a response pertaining to what it would take to align with the European schedule, not necessarily what the league desires.

This is hideous. Apparently their idea is to plaster advertising everywhere.

Re: Minnesota Multi Purpose Stadium

This may have been discussed before but that piece of land sandwiched between 5th, 6th, and Chicago seems like a good piece of land to develop into something (small). It's obviously quite small but it seems like someone could think of an unique idea for it. I'm not sure if they're going to replace ...

Looks like the last few reported months have exceed expectation. My guess is due to the new outlet mall.

Re: Farmers Market Soccer Stadium

If there were public funds from the county they've already stated that the sales tax revenues outpace projections for Target Field. It would take a simple board action to redirect those funds to the Farmers Market area.

Re: Green Line (Central Corridor LRT)

On that note, does anyone know why its taking such a long time to upgrade all the destination signs? Did they only budget one man-hour a week to the project or what? I would presume it's to be done in their "free time" when they aren't making critical repairs. For reference, I had to take...

Re: Farmers Market Soccer Stadium

How would that work, exactly? From what I've read, the tax is scheduled to expire in 2037, but the increased tax revenue may speed that up by 5 to 10 years. That means that Target Field bond payments will still consume the ballpark tax until 2027 at the earliest - still 13 years or more away. I bel...
