I was lucky enough to have County Commissioner Dan Foley buy me (and about 29 other people) lunch today- to discuss what we can do to build Dayton into a Sport Tourism Destination. Bob Steinbach from MVRPC was the facilitator (I am starting to think he’s the only one in town doing this- he’s at [...]
Much as I think the Nutter Center made a huge mistake bumping their premier tenant, the Bombers, off tonight’s date for the Gem City Roller Girls- you can catch the roller derby action tonight. It’s fun and funky- not anywhere near as good as hockey- but, it’s something to do in Dayton. For those of [...]
It’s a holiday weekend- so, of course you have to fire up the grill at least once- but, you can follow up your hot day in the sun on Sunday with a cool visit to the Nutter Center for Bombers championship hockey. Game 3 starts at 8pm- and if you have kids- the ad with [...]

Come to the game- Sunday at 5pm. See the rookies. or- watch them here:
The “other professional sports team” finished number one in their division and is going to the playoffs. Unlike the Dragons- The Dayton Bombers play for the Kelly Cup- a real award, that actually means something. The Bombers’ first playoff game is Sunday, April 15th 2007, at 5pm at the Nutter Center- and then they play [...]
Well, it’s pretty obvious that Mandalay Entertainment is looking to take as much of a public handout as they can- figuring if the city gave away the store for a ballpark- how much will they give us for a “Ballpark village?” So- since no plans for a hockey rink for the AA Dayton Bombers are [...]
