Driller's Stadium Construction Progress

[dbacks fan]

Wow, that's gorgeous. 

How's the park doing on attendance so far?

Wow indeed. And glad to see attenance is up. I like the fact that alot of the new stadiums both farm team and MLB are and have gone back to stadiums in downtown areas. There are some guys I work with that we go to Saturday or Sunday games here because there are places near Chase field to go to before or after a weekend game because of the start times. I hope that places in the Blue Dome and Brady area are seeing some growth in business.

I like Cooperstown.  We ate there when I was out for the Nov. '06 NASCAR weekend and my '08 trip was cut short due to unfortunate circumstances so I never made it downtown that time.

Kinda like the BOK wasn't going to make a profit...much less two years in a row and increase on that profit, even in hard economic times.

Some adjustments in area business hours are needed. A bunch of places open at 5pm on Saturdays, when games are at 6pm. Caz's Chowhouse even advertises "come here before the game" or something. Opening an hour before the game is cutting it pretty close at a sit-down restaurant.

Tonight there were 9,000-plus at ONEOK for Bedlam, plus a large crowd at BOK for Hank Williams that let out at 1130pm, yet where was there to eat afterwards? Joe Momma's. Anything else (not counting bars that serve three things at that hour)?

  I am suprised downtown doesnt already have an IHOP or Waffle House.  Even before all this new stuff people would have to drive to 31st and Memorial or wherever after the bars closed. So I have heard.

I used to like them; not so much anymore.  Not a big fan of IHOP anymore either.

Must be all the 2am drunk runs after clubbing I did in my youth.

Lol...It works in a pinch....lol.

My typical clubbing night in the wayback machine (think mid nineties here) was Ocean Club until 12am, then the 21st Street Station for good live music, then Taco Mayo at 31st/169 after 2am.

Man, I had an iron stomach back then.  Not so much now...
