the local sports scene
Omaha has hosted college baseball's national championship every year since 1950, which is longer than most cities have hosted anything.
The local sports scene
The scene
The Men's College World Series has been played in Omaha since 1950 and now fills Charles Schwab Field, a 24,000-seat downtown ballpark built for it in 2011. Creighton basketball sells out the CHI Health Center in a Big East conference otherwise made of eastern schools, and Omaha's hockey team draws well at Baxter Arena. Nebraska's football stadium is fifty miles down the interstate in Lincoln, and on autumn Saturdays a good part of the city drives there.
Rivalries that matter
Creighton against Nebraska is the in-state game that matters most locally; in the Big East the Villanova and Marquette fixtures carry the conference weight.
Where to watch
The Old Market and Blackstone districts; during the College World Series the whole area around the ballpark becomes a two-week festival.
