Less than one quarter mile away will be Caz's Chowhouse, Caz's bar, Lola's, Club Majestic, The SoundPony, Mexicali Border...

I'm not certain, but I don't think Lola's, The Sound Pony, and Mexicali are less than one quarter mile from the proposed ballpark.

I measured the distance from the edge of Mexicali Border building to the edge of the proposed ballpark. It appears to be approximately 1500 feet, Lola's is around 1400 feet and Sound Pony halfway between the two. A quarter mile is only 1320 feet.

I stand corrected.

Sounds similar to the traditional D.E.A.D. planning approach as described by John Fregonese...

Decide - through analysis and research

Educate - the public about the solution

Announce - the plan

Defend - the plan

Has there ever been anything undertaken in this town you actually liked?

Yes, there has been.  I think I posted under the user name "booWorld" yesterday or the day before about a bungalow being moved a few blocks rather than being demolished.  I like seeing the re-use of old buildings when it's feasible.

I like the idea of not having a restaurant in the ballpark....

Sell all the hotdogs and nachos you want in that thing, but for the love of all things pure, don't put a sports bar in the ballpark....If you do, you might as well also include a giant moving statue of a middle finger on top of the stadium that is at some point during each game aimed at the blue dome and brady districts.

Ask the downtown businesses to pay for something with the understanding that it will generate customers and then create a competition for those customers right there in the ballpark...not cool.

I'm inferring that you may post under multiple handles.  If so, please stop.

Doesn't the Bricktown ballpark have a Coach's?  Seems like Bricktown has done just fine with it.  I'd sure like some sort of bar, in the event my party is in the mood for a bit more serious drinking with our baseball.  For example, I went to opening night for the Drillers in '07 and it started snowing and then sleeting.  It was like 35 degrees.  That was a great night for whiskey with my baseball.

Fair enough...you "might be" posting under multiple handles.  You also "might be" a creep, but the forum rules are mute on this subject.

When you use multiple handles, you cheat us all...we can't get to know the REAL you.[] [sarcasm off]

Seriously, dude, it's a creep move.

Quit arguing with yourself, it sounds ridiculous.

Move along.

I think its important that the new stadium should fill up the block all the way to each side walk and curb. I don't like that big empty uninviting space in front of the Bricktown ball park, the architect might have envisioned a gathering area there to be used before events, but it has never been utilized for that.
