Omaha, NB - Baseball College World Series

Being this close to Omaha, we just HAD to take a trip and take in some college baseball ! Of course we planned it when UT-Texas was playing !! We lucked out and had a comp room w/ whirlpool tub for 2 nights at the Ameristar Hotel & Casino that looked out over the Missouri River and had a free shuttle to the games ! Monday June 15 we drove down, checked in and BV immediately went to get tickets for both games on Tuesday. I of course, checked out the casino layout to determine where & what to play ! BV got back and that evening we played & relaxed.

Tuesday June 16 we shuttled out to stadium, walked thru Fun Fest, souvenier tents and took pictures. They open the gates 2 hours before game time, and since we had outfield bleacher seats - first come first serve - we got in early.

I walked around with camera in hand, BV saved our seats ! The view across the field is from the bleachers. Our 6pm seats were going to be under the press box, two sections along 1st base side of home base, in the middle of the orange section about 21 rows up.

Great seats ... except for all the Nebraska fans behind/around us that didn't like "any part of Texas". They were really loud during first 3 innings...... then after TX rallied, they even quit watching the game.. and just talked loudly ! The view from our evening seats looked toward the bleachers where we sat for the 1pm game.... just under the big sign in the middle section.

We were walking down just as the last out in the bottom of the ninth was made.... so of course, for those who watched the game....... the final score was Texas 10 and Arizona 6.
