The Men's College World Series is Omaha's signature sporting event, drawing college baseball fans to Charles Schwab Field every June. Even if you are not invested in the teams, the atmosphere around the ballpark is part carnival, part alumni reunion, with tailgates, downtown crowds, and a very Midwestern sense of occasion.
This is an event rather than an everyday attraction, so timing is everything. Hotels rise sharply during the tournament and good seats sell early, but visitors who plan around it see Omaha at one of its most animated moments.
