History

[edit]

Plans for the stadium were announced by Union Omaha's ownership group on January 25, 2024. It is planned to be part of a 18-acre (7.3 ha) entertainment and mixed-use district north of Downtown Omaha. The stadium would seat 7,000 spectators and have an artificial turf surface.[1] The surrounding development would include a hotel, residential buildings, and public parks.[1][2]
