Yes.

I like them.

Play ball.

So, will we have a view of downtown, or the highway?

East Brady/Greenwood site done deal as of this evening.  Too many people trying to get rich on the other site.  Too bad for them.  Good for Tulsa.  Onward and upward from here.  Anyone else see the renderings?

Thats exactly what I thought. Some greedy old SOB's hangin on to property in that area.  Was painting the mural at the Central Center and one day a rather crotchety seeming, older gentleman wandered in talkig to someone. Was talking about some of the different property he owned in the area and I heard him say something to the effect.... They think its too much but they WILL pay what I want for it sooner or later... then he laughs.  I dont know exactly what property over there he was talking about, but I didnt get a good vibe from the guy regardless.

This new location is a better location anyway. [8D]

I'd like to know too.  I'm sure it has been covered ad nauseum in these 17 pages but where again is the location going to be, specifically?

both! []

I'm still not familiar with the site but I'm thinking it's viewable to the east from One Technology.  I toured it a while back and the view from the top floor executive conference room was to the east and it was not very attractive.  I nice, new ballpark out that way would be a huge improvement over the vacant buildings and empty lots.

I'm guessing it is.  The unfortunate part of building to the east or northeast of downtown is that you lose any chance of a view of downtown from the stands; otherwise, the afternoon/evening sun beats down on everyone.

Any discussion of a Mickey Mantle museum or anything like it?

From the north side grandstands, you should be able to see downtown pretty well. The only way to get a better view would be the west bank of the arkansas.

This has been discussed, yes.  sgrizzle's photoshop version is pretty close.  There will be no additional parking less a few hundred for players & VIP.

[TulsaSooner]

So when will it be announced?

Good, as long as it's on the agenda.  Thanks for the inside info.  I'm still waiting on plans/renderings before I make a judgement.  I thought the East End was perfect, but I imagine the Brady site will work quite well too (I guess they can still build the Wal-Mart over there).

I still hope that whatever architect gets the job keeps in mind the historical and artistic connection to Tulsa and Art Deco and does not design a ballpark that could be built just any old place.

I forgot, and PLEASE, no Tuscan palace, that belongs out in south Tulsa.
