Live Events & Tickets in Omaha

Omaha's live sports calendar centers on CHI Health Center Omaha (the city's 18,975-seat indoor arena that hosts the Women's College World Series, Creighton Bluejays basketball, and rotating NCAA tournament games) and Charles Schwab Field Omaha (the home of the Men's College World Series every June — one of the most-attended and most-beloved college sports events in America, filling downtown Omaha for two weeks with passionate college baseball fans from across the country). The College World Series has been played in Omaha since 1950 and is so deeply woven into the city's identity that it defines Omaha's national sports reputation. Creighton Bluejays basketball in the Big East draws strong crowds at CHI Health Center, and the program has been a consistent NCAA tournament participant. The Nebraska Cornhuskers home football schedule in nearby Lincoln (50 miles west) drives the state's biggest single-day attendance — Memorial Stadium's 90,000+ capacity sellout streak stretching back to 1962 is one of the longest in college football. The U.S. Olympic Swim Trials have been held in Omaha multiple times, establishing the city as a premier aquatic sports destination.
