I like any downtown location better than a river location. Near the arena, east village, gunboat park, brady arts...

My dream wish is that it was near OSU-Tulsa, built with help from state funds and the home field for a newly created OSU-Tulsa baseball team. It would be close to Greenwood and have connections with Tulsa's history and walking distance to all the brady bars and restaurants.

I have always thought that the best property potential is between the colleges and the castles.

I'm guessing slightly south and west, but more towards the south where a large GM dealership used to be. 3rd & Frankfort near TFD Sta. 1 perhaps?

City owned property. Will link in with the new rail. City can lease property to developers. Though road access is troubling and development there at this time will not really compliment downtown.

My other guess (and it would be my favorite area) is where the Hartford Building is. Close to Greenwood, Blue Dome, OSU Tulsa, the rail and would help downtown infill.

Ok, second guess. East of 244 or north of 75, where the industrial area was. At one time there was a paper recycler in one of the buildings.

It has to stay within the IDL.  And I hope that it doesn't sacrifice too many historic buildings.  

My only complaint about the previous ballpark/mixed-use proposal was that they wanted to tear down several historic buildings for small surface parking lots.  Those attractive older buildings will be the bars and restaurants and retail of the future...we have to be smart about what we tear down.  Downtown has enough scorched earth for surface parking.  Any parking should be structured with ground-floor retail.

hmmm... now that would be a surprise.  

I guess I just assumed from reading between the lines that the Drillers were either going to go to:

A)  Downtown Tulsa -- East Village
B)  Jenks River District

-
-
-
-
-
-
-
C)  The west bank of the river-- but only after he** freezes over...  [;)]




It is actually (D), none of the above.  Can anyone guess where it will be?

False ^^


I don't know you, but I will wager you the location is none of the above.

What's the bet?

Don't bet with stymied.

He is probably an insider. My guess is that he is Hornsby, the Driller mascot. How he types so well with those big hooves is beyond me.

I enjoy people who are 100% sure about where something isn't.. but have no idea where something is.

Has anybody besides stymied heard a PEEP about any location other than the East Village?  I sure haven't.  And when I asked someone about the KOTV property being involved I got a smile and a nod.  

Evans Fintube isn't accessible enough and won't pique retailer interest.  The old City Hall property is too small and there's no room for the development a TIF will require.  Hartford Building is a great location but would require closure of 2nd Street.  

So, I still expect it at the Nordam site.  Hartford Building won't shock me, but anything else will.

I've got the perfect location.  All we have to do is demolish the jail...

After further review, I'm not taking stymied up on his bet. But rest assured, it's downtown.
