Extra stadium info – Charles Schwab Field Omaha
The construction of the Charles Schwab Field Omaha, which is known as the largest baseball stadium by capacity in Nebraska, started in 2009. Its construction costs were $131 million. The stadium’s record attendance was broken in 2015, when 28,000 people showed up for a college baseball match. On 13 June 2019, the Detroit Tigers and the Kansas City Royals played the first-ever Major League Baseball game in Nebraska at the ballpark. The Royals won the game 7-3 in front of 25,000 spectators. The Tigers won the World Series in 1935 for the first time in their history. They lost the World Series four times before they won their first World Series title. The Royals won the World Series in 1985 for the first time in their history.
The College World Series
The Charles Schwab Field Omaha hosted the College World Series in 2011 for the first time in its history. The baseball team of the South Carolina Gamecocks won the tournament after beating the Florida Gators. George Herbert Walker Bush, the 41st president of the United States, played in the first two editions of the College World Series. Those editions took place in the 1940s. Bush lost both College World Series with the baseball team of the Yale Bulldogs.
The Creighton Bluejays and former tenants
The baseball team of the Creighton Bluejays use the Charles Schwab Field Omaha, which became a venue for the College World Series, for home games. They play in the highest division of college baseball in the United States. The Omaha Mammoths and the Omaha Nighthawks, two defunct American football teams, used the Charles Schwab Field Omaha for home games. The Omaha Nighthawks folded in 2012 and the Omaha Mammoths folded in 2014.
