TD Ameritrade Park Omaha

TD Ameritrade Park Omaha is a baseball park in Omaha, Nebraska. It became the home field of the College World Series after the NCAA signed an agreement to keep the CWS in Omaha until at least 2035 if the ballpark was built. The park is also the home of the Omaha Nighthawks of the UFL. In the spring, TD Ameritrade Park is used as the home field for Creighton University Bluejays Baseball and hosts the Missouri Valley Conference baseball tournament.

TD Ameritrade Park has a capacity of 24,000 people, with the ability to expand to 35,000 spectators. The ballpark was expected to cost $128 million to construct and is located near the CenturyLink Center Omaha. The park turned a profit of $5.6 million in its first year of operation, easily covering its debt payments.

Attempts have recently been made to bring a professional baseball team to TD Ameritrade Park, but legal troubles have prevented this from occurring any earlier than 2013. In February 2012, the Big Ten Conference expressed interest in holding the Big Ten Conference Baseball Tournament at TD Ameritrade Park.
