College World Series 2015 - New Mega Stadium
Hi;
TD Ameritrade Park Omaha[4] is a baseball park in Omaha, Nebraska, the home field of the College World Series since 2011. Opened earlier that year, the venue was constructed after the NCAA signed an agreement to keep the CWS in Omaha until at least 2035 if the ballpark was built. The event has been held in the city since 1950, previously at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium.
In the spring, TD Ameritrade Park hosts college baseball as the home field for Creighton University Bluejays.
TD Ameritrade Park has a seating capacity of 24,000, with the ability to expand to 35,000 spectators.[5] The ballpark was expected to cost $128 million[6] to construct and is located near the CenturyLink Center Omaha. The park turned a profit of $5.6 million in its first year of operation, easily covering its debt payments.[7]
Attempts were made to bring a professional baseball team to TD Ameritrade Park, but legal troubles prevented this.[8] The local Pacific Coast League franchise, the Omaha Storm Chasers (formerly Royals), opted for a smaller capacity venue at the new Werner Park, west of Papillion. In 2014, the Big Ten held its conference tournament at TD Ameritrade park.
