If by chance you read my previous post before this one (if youre reading this at all) you would remember my mentioning that I’d post something about Omaha’s 2 new ballparks.  They are, as you most likely read in the header things, TD Ameritrade Park and Werner Park.

TD Ameritrade Park’s main purpose is to replace Rosenblatt Stadium as the site of the College World Series.  However, it will also be converted to a football field in the fall to accomodate the Omaha Nighthawks football team (UFL).  While it is still baseball season, TD Ameritrade Park will host several (if not all) of the Creighton Bluejays baseball games and probably some Nebraska games, too.  I’m pretty excited for the Red Sky Music Festival, a 6-day concert series that will take place this July (and in years to come, too).

Werner Park is the new ballpark for the Omaha Storm Chasers (formerly Omaha Royals) (stupid new name, I know) who also lost a home at Rosenblatt :’( but Werner Park is a nice little stadium too.  It’s hardly a stadium, actually, it seats around 6000 if I’m not mistaken.  It looks pretty cool and the Storm Chasers seem to be trying to be a very family friendly organization, and almost the entire outfield seating is an open berm, perfect for picnics.

It seems like a nice cozy little place, just it’s out in the middle of nowhere…  I apologize that the pictures are a little stretched.  I don’t know how to get it perfect, oh well.

sooooo……..yep

Wow it’s been a looooong time since I’ve last posted anything.  I have just been so busy as of late with school, friends, etc.  Not that I’m expecting anyone to read this, but I thought maybe I’d get back into this, posting every once in a while.

I guess I’ll update you all on what’s going on: I’m now a junior in high school and have unfortunately been out of baseball since my injury.  I hope to get back this summer in a rec-league or something, idk whatever floats my boat I guess.  I’m hoping to be able to head down to Kansas City this summer to see the Cubs play the Royals.  Should be exciting…hopefully.  I’ve just updated my music list, which is down there on the right (if you scroll down a few times).  I’m still kinda frustrated that the Cubs aren’t looking too great for next year, but I can just hope and pray for a nice season.  Well…I’ve got a girlfriend now but she’s more like my best friend…she’s pretty cool/awesome We’re getting two cool new stadiums here in Omaha.  I’ll post some pictures and/or thoughts later.  I think the Super Bowl is starting now.  I don’t really care who wins.  I feel like I’m just rambling….oh well.

To finish up, I’d like to give a shout out to Johnny, Julia & all my other past supporters/commenters.  Thanks a lot!!
