True, but it's still pro ball in a league that has seen some growth in just a couple short years.

No different than the dozens of arena-league teams that play around the country.
You do realize that arena football is a completely different sport right?

I do realize arena league is a different game...but a lot of NFL players do spend time in the arena league. I believe Kurt Warner is one of them.

Not alot. A handful actually, and that is only because up until recently the Arena Leagues were the only option for those who had bounced out of the NFL.

Any ways like Bosco mentioned many cities build multi hundred million dollar stadiums for their NFL teams(yes NFL makes more more than CWS) for only a hand full of dates.

To be fair Dallas Stadium gets used all the time. That is probably a poor example. Invesco is a great one though. It sits empty for a vast majority of the year, but makes economic sense b/c of the main tenant. Same situation here in Omaha.

All of the stadiums get used for things other than the main tenants, but that is more like the icing on the cake. They're built for the main tenants.

That's as it should be. Omaha is a good example of that as we built the new stadium to accommodate the CWS first and everyone else second. I sure know I would rather have the CWS people happy and loose the royals than to have kept the royals and loose the CWS. The CWS brings in far more money and gives Omaha free national attention.

Actually thats 24,505 and can be expanded to 35,000 (as it is during the CWS). FAR more than rosenblatt could ever dream of holding.

It was to my understanding that it could be remodeled to have 35,000. As in right now it has 24,505, but if they added a second deck in the outfield, it would be 35,000. Is that right?
