So to keep the College World Series in Omaha, we would have to build a whole new stadium.  I think this would be a cool idea, and the pictures/renderings look really cool.  I am very attached to Rosenblatt Stadium.  It is the only sports venue that I know inside and out.  I know where you can get any type of food.  You need a root beer float?  I can tell you where it is.  Need a 14″ hotdog?  I can get you one.  Need a steak?  I can find you one.

I am going to be so sad to see The Blatt get torn down.

I have some pictures of the new stadium, which broke ground a few days ago.

Looks pretty sweet, right?  There’s only one problem.  With the Royals moving out to La Vista (an Omaha suburb) we have nobody to inhabit the new stadium for the rest of the year.  So were really gonna spend several hundred million bucks on a brand new stadium that will be used for 2 weeks out of the year.  There are rumors that Creighton University may play games there, but they only get 400 people at their games anyways.

Good news is that we get another new stadium for the future La Vista Royals that will actually have a team in it.

There are more rumors that with the Cubs sale to the Ricketts family, who are from Omaha, may move the Iowa Cubs to Omaha.  I was excited to hear this at first, but then I learned that the Iowa Cubs actually have their own owners, so they aren’t owned by the Ricketts.

I have heard that we may get a AA team, too.  Although this is also unlikely, it is more likely than a AAA team.

The rumor that seems most likely to me is that we may form a new team for the American Association, an Independent League.  If this is the best option for my city, I will certainly take it, although I doubt anybody would want to go see an American Association game.
