7huskers7 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I think this would be great for Omaha. Even thought the Racers deal didn't work out so good. This time around the team will actually be associated with the NBA and will have some recognizable names of college players that just missed making it in the NBA draft. Thoughts?

Jaybird Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I like it as well. I think in a smaller venue like the Ralston arena it can be successful without having to put 10,000 butts in the seats. I would not be a season ticket holder but would go to a game or two a year if they had recognizable players and or a good team and wasn't super expensive! I really like alternative entertainment options like this. Quote Link to comment
Omaha-Husker Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 It needs to take the model of the Storm Chasers not the Knights. Don't out price the market and it will do well. Quote Link to comment
Jaybird Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Agreed. Cater to families and make it a fun place to go that will not cost $100 to take the wife and kids. Quote Link to comment
Omaha-Husker Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Ralston Arena will be pretty busy if they get this team. D-League basketball, Lancers hockey and UNO basketball all in the same season. Quote Link to comment
huskereddie Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Having went to a few Racers games some years ago, it seemed the marketing was lacking. I think Ralston and those associated with the new arena are taking the right approach in looking at several different avenues, basketball, hockey and football. Quote Link to comment

Husker John Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 1971-1975......Omaha was an NBA town Quote Link to comment
Jaybird Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Has there been any updates on this topic recently? I heard the group from Ralston was supposed to meeting with the Nuggets group and have not heard anything out of that meeting. Anything? Quote Link to comment
