TD Ameritrade Park – OMAHA BLOG: OMAHA EVENTS AND MORE!

Omaha Interview: Jack Diesing,President of College World Series of Omaha Inc.

The interview was held on the phone after the College World Series Pre-Game Press Conference on 16 June.

The image below is from 12 June 2019 at TD Ameritrade Park.

We’ve just heard about a lot of changes with the College World Series but there are a lot of positives too. What are your favorite new things that will be happening this year?

My favorite new things … well, with tongue in cheek, I would say all of the digital ticketing and the touchless concessions because it’s a new experience for those of us who have been used to paper tickets and being able to pay with cash. So, that is going to be a new experience. I think it will be very big over time and people will get used to it and it will be more efficient …We are glad to have tailgate continuing. I think it will be a renewed energy of tailgating this year just because people want to get out and enjoy some sense of normalcy.

Most importantly, I am looking forward to getting to watch some great baseball.” The Greatest Show on Dirt” for the 71st time here in Omaha, Nebraska!

There are some specific activities that I am looking forward to. One of them is … I want to see how many people wear their boots on a 95 degree day. We are having Country night on Friday of the College World Series, so bring out your boots.

We are also having Kid’s Day, Monday afternoon, and Throwback Thursday. People can wear their old hats and College World Series shirts.

So, there will be a lot of fun things to do; video boards, some games and so forth.

Most important thing is we got the College World Series and there is going to be some wonderful baseball.

I am looking forward to it. I don’t know what day I am coming but I will be wearing my cowboy boots.

There you go.

When did you first learn that the College World Series was going to be coming back?

Actually we had always…This goes back to the beginning of the year. We were confident working with the NCAA that it was coming back. The only thing that we did not have a good handle on amongst ourselves and the NCCA, at the time, was the percentage of participation that was going to be available for fans.

Originally, we thought… we were going to have a College World Series with probably no more than 25 percent. Then, it went up to 50 percent which is what we thought it was going to be for baseball. That was in April.

Then based on a variety of things (CDC guidelines, inoculations, cases were going down, hospitalizations were going down and the way things are going on here in Nebraska), the NCAA agreed to not have a “one-size-fits-all” and for having them subject to the protocols that were going on in a particular state or city. So when that happened on, I think, May 19th, it was decided to go to 100 percent.

So, we’ve been slowly but surely evolving since the first of the year. It’s been 24/7 since early May but we are excited to be where we are and having no limitations on the number of fans that can be in the stadium.

We are hoping everyone is going to take advantage of it.

Thank you for all the hard work and all the extra hard work to make returning the College World Series possible and thank for the interview.

You got it. No problem. Thank you for covering it. We appreciate it. You make it a great day.

CWS Interview with Kathryn Morrissey, Executive Director, College World Series of Omaha, Inc.

Hurray! The College World Series is back and it’s time for another interview with the Executive Director for College World Series of Omaha, Inc. This is one of my favorite Omaha events and Omaha interviews.

Thank you to Kathryn Morrissey, Executive Director, College World Series of Omaha, Inc. for the interview for CWS 2021 update on 11 June 2021.

Please tell us a little about yourself.

Kathryn Morrissey, Executive Director of College World Series of Omaha. This is my 33rd year working on the College World Series and we are thrilled that we are actually playing baseball this year.

I am so looking forward to it as well.

What new changes have there been with either equipment or the facility?

You know in terms of the facility, one of the biggest changes is that we through the Metropolitan Entertainment and Convention Authority-They have gone campus-wide to digital tickets-in other words, anyone attending the Swim Trials or were attending the basketball Creighton games this last winter. All the tickets are digital as they are TD Ameritrade Park.

That is a change but it just reflects what is happening nationally. Everybody whether it is an airline ticket or a ticket to a play or something along those lines. It seem like everything is going digital. So, we are joining that group too.

How will that work?

You know at this point, all of our season tickets have been offered to season ticket holders in a digital format. We had our advanced sale that started this last Monday, June 7th, and those were also offered online on https://www.ncaatickets.com/championship/college-world-series . So far we’ve even had one event sold out that would be Saturday night. So, apparently people figured out how to make that work.

That’s good.

Yes.

College World Series TD AmeritradePark Entrance and Statue

Are there any new security or safety measures or changes that the fans might need to be aware of ahead of time?

Well, MECA is certainly the experts in terms of commenting on which changes have been made during the age of COVID. Certainly, one of the ones that I am aware of that fans will want to know about is that the concessions are cashless now. That means that obviously you’ll want to bring your credit card to the ballpark but also and if you are a fan that likes to use cash, there will be a revers ATM available. So, you can bring in cash and convert it into a debit type card that can be used at the ballpark and used else where after the College World Series.

Wow. That’s the first time I have heard of that. How does the reverse ATM work?

Basically for example, you will take, for example, a $20 dollar bill and feed it into the machine and then out pops something that looks and functions like a credit card but it is obviously limited to the amount of money that you load it on.

Thank you.

Any other changes for the fans?

You know there will be some other changes. For the first time and only for this year, the general admission-the outfield spaces will not be sold in the traditional general admission format. There are a lot of good reasons for that relating to the health and safety of the fans attending still in the age of COVID; recommendations that have been put in place from the NCAA’s advisory team.

So this year, those will be our lowest price reserve seats and the prices will vary depending on popularity of the game. But for example, the first weekend and the finals are the most popular. Those are $30 dollars this year plus ticket master fees. During the week nights, they will be $25 and then during the weekday afternoons they will be $20. The advantage, of course, is to have a reserve seat that we will actually be assigning people to specific section, row and seat number and the bench-style seats do have seat numbers. We actually utilized those as recently as the Major League Baseball game in 2019.

Thank you. What changes are there for the players?

Student athletes will be in a COVID tested zone. They’ll try to restrict their movements so that they are protected as much as possible to protect them from any environment in which they might be exposed to COVID. So, their movements will be more restricted this year. So as a consequence, we won’t be hosting an opening ceremony-type celebration for them this year. That’s another thing that we expect to have coming back in 2022.

Field of College World Series

Tell me more what will be different for celebrations or events at the College World Series.

I think this year the focus is on, “Isn’t it great that we are just back playing baseball again!”

[Interrupts] Yes! Yes!

It’s a kind of back-to-basics year. There will be a handful of other activities that will be occurring to enhance the fan experience. Of course we will have the opportunity for fans to bring their kids on a particular day, that’s Monday afternoon and where some kid’s music and concessions will be featured. We’ll have a throw-back day on Thursday where we hope to have basically fans wearing their most vintage College World Series apparel. And then Friday is a country night. Probably boots and cowboy hats or whatever attire- if you want to participate in that.

What does the College World Series mean to you and to Omaha?

I think this will be a huge emotional boost for Omaha that we have the College World Series back. In a way, it was a little bit last year like trying to image a Christmas without Santa Claus to image summer without the College World Series. I think we were all a little bit let down by the fact that we could not gather together and celebrate college baseball and celebrate the beginning of our Summer. And this year with that coming back, I think it is going to be a huge morale boost for the community.

I am so excited to have it come back and to be able to go and or course to be able to visit with you for the interview.

The last question is why is this “The Greatest Show on Dirt”?

“The Greatest Show on Dirt” is one of those iconic phrases that is associated with the College World Series and I think just reflects not only the fan experience but just the way the student athletes feel when they enter that field and play what could be the last games of their baseball careers and certainly their college baseball careers. They give it their complete 100 percent effort. They play with a lot of heart and I can’t imagine anything better to watch in the summer.

The one other thing that I didn’t mention that I think might be really helpful for people this year is there is a College World Series app that is put out by the NCAA. So, “NCAA Men’s College World Series” is how I believe how it is listed in the app stores. [Here is the link http://on.ncaa.com/MCWSApp] It’s probably the easiest way for fans to follow their favorite team, check the weather, get bracket and scoring information. It’s going to be a real asset for fans who kind of want to be kept up to date to the minute.

Thank you very much.

Major League Baseball Game to Come to Omaha

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 21, 2018
MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL TO STAGE REGULAR SEASON GAME IN OMAHA
LEADING INTO THE 2019 COLLEGE WORLD SERIES
Royals and Tigers Will Meet on June 13, 2019, Two Days Before First Game of the NCAA’s Men’s College World Series, in Exclusive National Telecast on ESPN Special Event Will Be Part of Newly Unveiled GEICO Summer Series

OMAHA, NE – Major League Baseball announced today that the Kansas City Royals and the Detroit Tigers will play a regular season game in Omaha, Nebraska on Thursday, June 13, 2019. Honoring Omaha’s baseball tradition, the first Major League game ever held in Nebraska will be televised nationally by ESPN and will be played at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha – one day before the Opening Celebration Day of the 2019 National Collegiate Athletic Association’s (NCAA) Men’s College World Series and two days before the event’s
first game. GEICO will be the presenting sponsor of the event as part of the new GEICO Summer Series. The game resulted from an agreement between MLB, the NCAA, Minor League Baseball, the Triple-A Omaha Storm Chasers and Omaha’s Metropolitan Entertainment & Convention Authority (MECA).

Today’s announcement was made at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha and featured Commissioner of Baseball Robert D. Manfred, Jr.; the Royals’ Dayton Moore, Senior Vice President and General Manager, and Kevin Uhlich, Senior Vice President, Business Operations; the Tigers’ Al Avila, Executive Vice President and General Manager, and Duane McLean, Executive Vice President, Business Operations; the Mayor of the City of Omaha, Jean Stothert; Gary Green, Principal Owner and Chief Executive Officer of the Omaha Storm Chasers; Roger Dixon, President/CEO of MECA; and ESPN’s Karl Ravech, one of the network’s signature baseball voices at multiple levels of the game.

The 2019 game will follow other recent special events that have brought regular season play to nontraditional locales and have been telecast by ESPN. On July 3, 2016, the Atlanta Braves and the Miami Marlins played at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, a celebration of the servicemembers at the post and the first Major League game ever held in the state. On August 20, 2017, the Pittsburgh Pirates and the St. Louis Cardinals participated in the inaugural Little League Classic, which took place at Historic Bowman Field in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, the home of the Little League World Series. The second Little League Classic presented by GEICO will be played this August 19th between the Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Mets.

The Royals and the Storm Chasers, who helped make this event possible, share the game’s longest relationship between a Major League Club and its Triple-A affiliate, spanning the careers of Hall of Famer

George Brett and other Kansas City greats since its franchise inception in 1969. Thirty-two Major League players all-time were born in Omaha, including Hall of Famers Bob Gibson and Wade Boggs, and more than 100 all-time were born in Nebraska, including Hall of Famer Richie Ashburn and Royals’ three-time All-Star
Alex Gordon, a Lincoln native and a product of the University of Nebraska. Gibson pitched for Triple-A Omaha when it was a Cardinals’ affiliate. As a member of the New York Giants’ Minneapolis farm club in 1951, Hall of Famer Willie Mays was in Omaha when he was called up to the Majors. In 1889, Hall of Fame pitcher Kid Nichols was the ace of the Omaha Omahogs of the Western Association. The state of Nebraska has a long and distinguished tradition of Native Americans playing the game.

Commissioner Manfred said: “As fans enjoy the excitement of the College World Series, I am pleased to announce that we will be playing a Major League game in Omaha next season. We look forward to partnering
with the NCAA and all the various parties who have worked hard to put this game together. This represents
another significant step in our efforts to showcase the solidarity that links each level of our great game.”

Kevin Uhlich, the Royals’ Senior Vice President, Business Operations, said: “The bond that ties our ball club in Kansas City and the city of Omaha dates back to the first pitch ever thrown in organization history in 1969 when both the Kansas City Royals and then-Omaha Royals came into existence. Couple that with one of
the greatest spectacles in college athletics, the College World Series, and we’re ecstatic as an organization to participate in this historic game. So many of the athletes who have worn Royal uniforms have come through this great community either while starring for their college team or as a member of our organization. It’s only fitting that the Royals be a part of the first Major League game ever hosted by the city of Omaha.”

Al Avila, Executive Vice President and GM of the Tigers, said: “All of us with the Detroit Tigers are thrilled and honored to participate in the first-ever Major League game at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha. The College World Series is one of America’s jewel events and is truly an institution within the baseball world. We
are looking forward to showcasing the talent of our Major Leaguers on amateur baseball’s biggest stage.”

Omaha Storm Chasers owner Gary Green said: “We are very excited to not just be part of this historic first-of-its-kind event in Omaha next year, but that our parent club of 50-plus seasons will be participating as well. The city of Omaha has an incredibly rich history of professional baseball, and the large significance of this event taking place next year in this city cannot be overstated.”

Bill Brower, GEICO’s assistant vice president of marketing, said: “Omaha has played an enormous role in making baseball America’s pastime. GEICO is pleased to support this historic game and the timeless sport of baseball.”

Omaha has hosted the College World Series since 1950, at Rosenblatt Stadium through 2010 and at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha since 2011.

CWS Media Tasting 2018: Great Food Meets the Greatest Show on Dirt

It was another outstanding performance of culinary expertise at TD Ameritrade Park for the College World Series at the CWS Media Tasting 2018. Levy Restaurants put forth some amazing delectable creations taking ballpark food up way beyond several notches.

As the saying goes, “you eat first with your eyes”. Please enjoy our tasty pictures. Then go to the CWS and taste these wonderful creations yourself.

My personal favorites were:

No Crying in Baseball Dog- There is no crying indeed even with all those onions. Chef Chris Myers has prepared a wonderful combination of sweet and spicy meets hotdog with of course- plenty of onions

Smoke Rings- Smokey rings of onions will delight your palate. Sweet barbecue sauce copiously drizzled over perfectly golden onion rings. But that is not all . These golden beauties are sprinkled with pulled pork, smoked Gouda and bacon. But wait there is more. They are dusted with green onions and are sure to delight any fan.

All-American Pretzel- There are two surprises waiting for you with this already elevated Bavarian pretzel. Carmel apple dipping sauce and a fried pretzel add a twist to the pretzel.

Impossible Burger- The mission if you accept it is to try this tasty burger. Chef Chris Myers took on the mission impossible to create a veggie burger that has both the taste and texture of meat. Well done Chef!

CWS Interview with Kathryn Morrissey, Executive Director, College World Series of Omaha, Inc.

Hurray! It is here. It is time for the 2018 College World Series and another interview with College World Series of Omaha, Inc.

Thank you to Kathryn Morrissey, Executive Director, College World Series of Omaha, Inc. for the interview for CWS 2018 update.

Please tell us a little about the teams who are “on the road to Omaha.”

Well, right now we don’t know what teams will be here.

We are just getting ready to start the regional competition and the super-regional competition will follow that.

It’s an interesting field. There are some of the teams that we expect to see year after year that will be coming and then there are some new ones.

There’s some really good teams on the horizon that we haven’t heard so much before in the past like the Hatters. Those and other groups, we have heard from before and eager to see them if they make it that long.

How do upset teams happen?

I think there is a lot of parity in college baseball.

It used to be that especially some of the southern states almost had a collar around all of those big championship teams.

And any more some of the northern seats, Northern teams from northwest coast have made some in roads as well.

Just recently we saw in Omaha Minnesota do a really good job.

That would be a great fan base to bring to Omaha again.

I know the fans are really supportive. Do you have any fun stories?

We have fun stories from the past. It is always interesting to see who comes and what is on their bucket list. So toward that cause I am hoping that we will have some really good ones.

For example, now this goes back a ways…Mississippi, the state of Mississippi when we had Southern Mississippi participate a few years back, it felt like the entire state closed up shop and moved to Omaha for few days because they were so excited to be included in our activities.

So it’s hard to know what stories will come out this year.

Coastal Carolina is doing very well this year.

They were kind of a sweetheart, a Cinderella team from a few years back that went all the way.

Every year has its special story.

What is a good one from last year?

I am trying to think of one. The fact that we had the Florida team win after so many appearances was something that was a lot of the fans from the SEC were very pleased to see that activity.

There is always going to be those good stories. I’ll be eager to see if we have some new Cinderella teams coming in this year.

Or if we have a team like Florida State. Mike Martin has been to the College World Series so many times. He is the current number one winning- has more wins under his belt as a Division One baseball coach than anyone in history, but yet he has never won the College World Series.

He is a quite a gentleman. He has wonderful teams, but to use an old phrase, he’s kind of always been a bridesmaid and not the bride. So we are waiting to see if his team makes it this year.

Any new stories about the fan or vendor side last year or ahead for this year?

We are always eager to here from Levy, the restaurateurs that manage the food preparation at TD Ameritrade Park always come up with some really great offerings for fans during the College World Series. Things like the “South Omaha Taquito” in the past and they have had some that probably can feed families let alone an individual. So we are really eager to see what they will come up with across the street.

I remember last year there were quite a few members of your family that could eat after some of those.

Last year, I think we had our first fruit kebab, a new offering. I don’t know if those will be back this year.

What was the attendance last year?

Last year’s attendance was a record. It was 357,646 which was really great.

Our average attendance per game was 22,352.

Has there been any equipment or facility or rule changes this year?

We have extended the netting. We follow major league baseball’s lead in that respect and have extended it beyond where it has ended in the past.

Anything new with the facility or equipment? I remember one year the bats were changed.

No. It’s been a while since any of the equipment or facilities have been changed in terms of the balls and bats.

It was amazing there for a while when the stadium was new that-the first year we had issues at that time – we thought with a lack of home runs that happened to coincide with the first year of TD Ameritrade Park which was 2011 coincided with the first year that the bat had been deadened.

What transpired after that was that the baseball itself was made a little bit more lively and now we regularly see home runs. So I think there have been the appropriate adjustments and we should be all good now.

Are there any new security measures or changes that the fans might need to be aware of ahead of time?

I am really glad that you about asked that. This will be the first year that we will have had the clear bag policy in effect. Now that has been in effect at the Century Link Center starting this winter with Creighton basketball season. It has been ineffect Creighton baseball season at TD Ameritrade. And it was in effect last weekend with the Big Ten baseball tournament. It will be the first time we require clear bags for the College World Series.

We’ve ordered 25,000 of them to be distributed for free in the area. They have already been delivered to our season ticket holders to our club seat holders our suite holders as part of an advanced mailing. We are in the process right now of distributing them to various hotels, convention and visitors bureaus in the area.

For example, Council Bluffs and Sarpy County are involved in that in addition to the greater Omaha area. So we think we are going to be doing a good job in making them available. Now that enough clearly for everybody who is attending the College World Series. And, I want to make the point that you do not have to have the special clear bag that is branded with the College World Series. If you went to the grocery store and bought a Ziploc type bag- those gallon sized bags-those are equally as acceptable those with the College World Series logo on it. And similarly for a clutch size. 4 1/2 by 6 [inches] does not need to be clear.

Water bottles will need to be empty and clear as well. We have had that in effect. It’s kind of a nice fan amenity we have a great number of water stations in addition to water bottle filling stations and drinking fountains.

They do need to be 20 ounces or smaller and clear and empty when you go into the ballpark.

There are lots of free places to fill it up, before, during and after the games.

What about camera equipment?

We do have a media entrance, if you have media credentials but for the casual fan. They can bring in a small camera, a shorter lens. They can bring in their smart phones. Any larger equipment that might interfere with another fan’s enjoyment will not be allowed in. That is not a new rule.

So purses would have to be clutch size?

Purses would have to be 4 1/2 x 6 1/2 inch size or we have these larger clear bags, kind of a standard size now.

Any other changes this year?

We will be celebrating a great attendance milestone this year. Since 1950 we will now have a cumulative attendance of 10,000,000 fans. Which is quite an accomplishment. We should be reaching that on game number 3 on Sunday at 1 o’clock.

That is also Father’s Day. So bring your dad and be part of that 10 million day fan crowd.

How many games are scheduled?

The maximum number that we always have available are 17, but that includes several games that are tie breakers.

So this year, our tie breaker days would be Saturday June 23rd.

Those are days we may be playing no game, one game or two games depending on how the brackets play out and similarly finals number 3 which would be if necessary played on June 27.

Otherwise we got 14 games that we know will be played.

We are eager to get fans in there to enjoy themselves.

What are the nearest gifts shops or restaurants that might have promotions or items?

That’s a really good question. I think that North Downtown, here we got a lot of vendors who during this time of year kind of change up maybe their business plan a lot bit to to capture the excitement and activities that the fans bring to the area. I know there are lots that open their doors in creative ways…trying to capture some of that economic impact that comes every year through the College World Series.

Thank you very much.
