CWS 75 in Omaha, Nebraska!


šŸŸļøĀ A Brief History: Omaha & the College World Series


The Men’s College World Series (MCWS)Ā has proudly called Omaha, NebraskaĀ home since 1950, making it one of the most iconic and long-standing traditions in college sports.


šŸ”¹ Originally held in Kalamazoo, Michigan (1947)Ā and later Wichita, Kansas and Denver, the NCAA brought the tourname


šŸ”¹ The city’s unwavering support led the NCAA to commit long-term. Omaha is currently contracted to host the CWS through at least 2036—a testament to its unmatched hospitality, fan experience, and central location.


Omaha isn’t just a host—it’s part of the game’s legacy. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or a first-time visitor, there’s nothing quite like the College World Series in Omaha. ⚾🌽
