Well, since they've had winning seasons for as long as I've had season tickets, I guess the answer is yes.

BTW, Bills vs. Indiana tonight at 6. I know there's a gametracker on slubillikens.com, not sure if there's a live feed or not.

You folks do realize that there are quite a few alumni and alumnae of schools in Texas and Iowa (and most other central U.S. states) in our fair city, don't you?

Fair enough, CS. Hopefully those winning ways will permeate SLU basketball.

Yep. I doubt it on the live feed, unless you paid th $79 for the online season pass.

With Patterson out (and I assume Jarmillo and Sweeten remain out), I think the best we can hope for is a 0-0 tie and then win on PK's.

Actually, even with our "young" team, only three players are under the age of 24. Most are late 20s and early 30s.

Skybox no more. This place is now called At The Levee

Anyone have an idea why Skybox closed? Is At the Levee a sports bar and is it still owned by Nelly?

I'd assume they closed due to lack of business. I went there on the weekend of the All-Star game and the place was nearly empty even though the landing was packed with people.

Correction: It seems the new place is actually called The Levee. Not At The Levee.

70 HI DEF SCREENS??? What is that - over 200,000 worth of restaurant in just the TVs? Why?

I'm a bit concerned about the menu honestly. Nothing on it seems that special for the area, and the prices are generally higher I think that closer sports bars like Show Mes or Hooters. Plus, what's with the small "dinner" menus filed with steaks? Is this a bar trying to be a restaurant, or a restaurant trying to be a bar? I certainly hope the food is good, and hope this place does well for the St. Louis sports bar scene - but right now, all signs point to iffy.

Remember when? I'm not happy a place closed (or changed names or whatever), I just like pointing out when I'm right, on that rare occasion.

After reading the FOODIES UPDATE thread, I saw that this place is suppose to become "King Louie's Courtyard Bar & Pizzeria". The address of 800 North 3rd St. seemed to match the location on a map.

Yeah, it was open for a few days as The Levee and then it closed again.

Weird.

^ That doesn't sound good. Someone's trying a bit too hard. I guess I won't change the name of this thread until the owners can decide on a proper name and stick with it for more than a week or two.

Sheesh, and I thought banks were bad about changing names!

^ Researching the Skybox/The Levee/King Louie's space, I was told at Skybox that they were NOT officially closed, “just reconfiguring the space,” and that King Louie's Courtyard Bar and Pizzeria will operate in the rear of the existing Skybox space.

I noted Sherlock Froeb’s update from his blog (and King Louie’s major league ad in the RFT), and parroted their Sept 21 opening date (which apparently did not happen).

Skybox’s website currently links to a Nelly and friends music site and there is no listed phone nor website for King Louie’s. Weird? Yes. Confusing? That, too. Get it together, guys.

Weird.

Apparently it is now something called North 40. Not sure when that happened. Since Miss Nights closed, I only get to the Landing once per year for the Blues Fest, even though I only live 10 blocks away.

Schlafly Beer Check out Big Smith at "North 40", a new bar where Skybox used to be (they don't have a website yet.) 800 N. 3rd Street in STL. Doors at 8pm, show at 9:15. $8 cover. They just put Schlafly Pale Ale on draft!

Well, Big Muddy Blues Festival is this weekend at Laclede's Landing. Might be a good time to check out North 40 as well.

Skybox to become Vatterott College recording school and studio. Nelly and his team will be very involved.
