With Memorial Stadium, Haymarket Park and a new west Haymarket arena as focal points, visionaries see a fan-friendly sports triangle that would be home to all of the major high school sports championships. Beyond the events, fans and participants could enjoy all the area has to offer, from bars and restaurants to the new high school sports hall of fame. Coverage coming Jan. 22.

" An arena is a great idea, as a genuine "sports town" Lincoln would undoubtably try to support it. The real question is-- with entry and exit traffic flow at both Haymarket Park and Memorial Stadium among the nations worst, how does adding a new venue to the Haymarket area improve that situation? "

" If going to a basketball game can be like going to a baseball game when you can grab a meal and a beer prior to it i would go to a lot more games. "

" I love the idea but if you build a new arena, the city needs to vastly improve the traffic flow! "

" Once again, the main concern seems to be traffic flow. And I agree. I think this is a great idea that needs to be looked at in a very positive way. But, I hope the 2015 Vision group will look at not only handling the traffic flow from the new additions, but also correct some of the current problems we have. Sun Vally Blvd needs to be widened for one, and I am sure there are many other ideas out there. Let's put them all on the table and discuss them. "
