About Omaha's Downtown Omaha

I am starting to hear quite a few rumors about the Tampa Bay Devil Ray's checking out Omaha as a possible city to move to? Could Nebraska finally get pro sports. Its exciting to see a city you love grow and gain in popularity.

I have to admit of all the pro sports there are baseball would be my last choice but it probably makes the most sense for Omaha. Brand new stadium, no competition except for the college world series. I think it would be a packed house for all the games. I think our great city would rally in support. I do wonder what would happen to the Omaha Stormchasers. I don't know if we can support an MLB team as well as a triple A team. Let me know your thoughts on pro sports moving to Omaha, Nebraska.

Just a few years ago, the area where TD Ameritrade Park now sits did not have a lot to entice visitors to come and want to stay. Vacant buildings and poorly lit streets made the old market much more enticing and subsequently this area did not fulfill its potential. However, when it was annouced that the park would be built buildings started to pop up and builders started looking a little harder at the area. Now that the stadium is actually finished and games have begun to be played there it is easy to see why many people are suggesting this will be the next big area downtown to explode.

Already chains liek American Appareal have invested in the area, counting on the closeby Creighton University students as well as the new traffic to help grow their business. Other places have also moved in to take advantage of the influx in traffic such as the Slowdown, a pizza joint, a bike shop and a movie theatre that primarily plays a mixture of Indie and Classic films.
