OMAHA, Neb. -- The College World Series will be played in Omaha at least through 2030, under an agreement the city and NCAA reached Wednesday.
A long-term contract has been in the works for months, with much of the discussion centered on the construction of a new downtown ballpark to replace 60-year-old Rosenblatt Stadium.
Plans for a stadium adjacent to the Qwest Center have been moving forward for weeks, and Wednesday's "memorandum of understanding" promises a commitment of at least 20 years once the current contract expires in 2010. . .
