Steve, these are your words:

Architect Anthony McDermid was once part of a team chosen by Kerr-McGee to redevelop these old buildings into housing. The team did a lot of work – they obtained TIF...

So I read here that a neutral expert was brought in, also preservationists, and everyone agreed preservation of the building was not viable.
...

So there were attempts? I wasn't aware. And why did they not succeed? Enlighten me. Or point me to the right page in this thread b/c I do not recall reading about it.

Now I think I understand why Stage Center was passed over for MAPs. Just too expensive. The costs to renovate + costs to operate + costs to maintain = astronomical. Sad.

But yeah the location...

So I drove downtown Sunday afternoon to visit Stage Center in person and take pics. It's larger and more impressive than what I remember and appears on the outside to be in good shape. Obviously...

Let's be pragmatic for a moment...before SandRidge announced its plan to demolish India Temple, was India Temple on anyone's agenda? Was there any kind of preservation movement? No, no one cared...

^^^It's the football gods giving Bob one tiny thorn to cause worry/anxiousness when every other aspect of the team is championship-calibre. He can feel confident in everything else, but not this one...

There are some who watched the fight over India Temple and the behavior of the so-called "urbanists" and came away from it concluding the urbanists were behaving in a fringe/lunatic manner over a...

There are and were a number of people who were happy with SandRidge's plans all along, i.e. getting rid of the eyesores/unusable structures and even before this current announcement, SandRidge was...

Good news for downtown! Sorta makes all the Sandridge haters look silly now...actually they looked silly then but especially now.

Will be interesting to see what the architects come up with. ...

Driving home this afternoon in the rain...cloud ceiling right at 500' could see all the downtown buildings except only 2/3 of Devon then losing it in the cloud bank = awesome.

Didn't we botch the punt and the punter kicked it backwards out of the endzone to prevent FSU from scoring a TD? So essentially OU scored all of the points that night.

I hope OU does something...

Awesome updates - I'm already trying to imagine what kind of LED light show we'll get to enjoy.

State/city should give the partially completed museum and land to whatever tribe can develop it into a massive hotel/casino complex.

Reminds me when OU played series with Bama a few years ago. I was in Norman on gameday and ran into a crowd of Bama fans at the Waffle House. I thought it funny that they wanted to eat at the only...

According to this article from May 2011, the project is not dead, it's on a strategic pause. State...

Tulsa looked better than 'Zona. Mike Stoops is going to go into cardiac arrest on the sideline one day. They just looked unprepared.

I get the feeling there is a lot of sentiment to save the B12 and keep a major conference alive here in the middle of the country. Bringing in BYU would do it. Although I despise their cult-like...

I can see pros/cons for both the PAC and SEC. If OU jumps to SEC along with A&M, then no more Texas BS and we're part of the strongest conference in the land. Hard to beat for future stability and...

Leave for the PAC, SEC, or stay and prop up the B12?

Is 16 the magic number? Why not stick with 14? I haven't seen the answer to that. This article speculates SEC could make a big play and grab OU, oSu, and Mizzou along with A&M...SEC West would be...

I haven't scouted Arizona but I'm eager to see oSu's offense face off against a decent defense. Also interested to see if oSu's defense can stop a decent offense. That seems to always be oSu's...

Add to the SEC: A&M, Florida State, Clemson, Louisville. Except for A&M, the other 3 are in SEC territory already and fit the SEC culturally.

Add to the PAC: OU, oSu, TX, Tech. These 4 fill...

In 1973, my family moved to Norman and I got to see OU play for the first time. I was 9. The legend of the Selmon brothers made a big impression on me. Dewey Selmon was active in our church and...

Tulsa is a good team and will have a very successful season. OU is very good and played well today. One of the best season openers I've seen OU play in many years. I feel something special with...
