[edit] About

There are 105 tenant spots on two floors of this regional mall, which was built in 1991.[5] The mall receives more than 12,000,000 visitors annually, and features a "Kids Coliseum" play area.[6] Oak View is attributed with sparking a development "boom" in its approximate neighborhood, which now includes several major retailers, restaurants, a three national hotel chains.[7]

In 2006 the mall was the location of an attempted mall shooting similar to what happened at Westroads Mall in Omaha in December 2007. A security guard supervisor was allegedly fired for disarming and apprehending a suspected mall shooter before Omaha police were called to the scene.[8] In August 2007 the Firefighter's Combat Challenge was held at the mall and broadcast on ESPN.[9]
