Headed up from the woodlands on Thursday for my second trip (first time was last year). For those of you who’ve never been and are on the fence and worried about tickets , details etc., do yourself a favor and just go. Incredible experience and atmosphere all week. Went with one son last year and taking two sons this year. Incredible memories. Hook ‘em.

Yeah, I got the great “discount rate”of 500 bucks a night last night after our game at the residence inn Marriott downtown which promptly got sold out minutes later.

Rooms didn’t seem as much of a problem last year but some pretty large fan bases this year. Heard nightmares of Airbnb too. Can always call em and see if you can get lucky on a cancellation . Staying across the state line isn’t too bad either I hear. Good luck.

Finally found some shitty Extended Stay Suite in west side of Omaha for Friday and Saturday.  At least it's not in fucking Lincoln and within Uber distance.  Sunday night I already had a room at the Hyatt Place, which cool to hear that is team hotel.  Will be hoping for a miracle that I can move over there for all 3 nights.  Come on Tennessee fans, start cancelling those reservations!

I'm going to the Sunday-Monday games.  Planning to go to all 4 games.  Playing the CWS ticket game is always interesting.  Will they go up or go down?  The Sunday/Monday tickets are lower than Friday/Saturday.  Probably a combination between it not being the weekend plus the matchups unknown.

Considering that UT is a favorite to win game 1, I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on the Sunday night 6:00pm game now. 

Given the opponent will be either TAM or OU, it would be a hot ticket.

Does anyone have any recs for parking out toward the stadium? Don’t mind being further out, just curious if there is something I need to have planned or paid out in advance. First time out there and bringing the 5 year old.

There are public parking garages within walking distance.  Don't recall having to make reservations.

I don't know about the best lots or anything because I have only been in Omaha a bunch of times other than the CWS, but the stadium is directly down Abbott Drive from the airport. There are some economy parking lots within a couple of miles of the stadium that I am sure you could park at and Uber to the stadium. https://www.flyoma.com/parking/#1562782533311-5a6c8a28-3c3e

Can we talk about this more? What is best way to get tickets?

Again, I’m planning to go to all four games so I have nothing to lose by buying tickets now if a certain team doesn’t win. But I jumped on tickets for the 6:00 Sunday (Sec 104 for $50) and Monday (Sec 110 for $125) games when I saw attractive prices. 

I plan on waiting on the losers 1:00 games. I expect those to decrease.

What’s anyone’s experience with waiting until the finals to get rooms/tickets? There are eight schools going and six leaving. I would imagine large amounts of rooms get cancelled. I think I’m just gonna call ahead and get on any kind of waiting list they might have

Good plan. Hotels much easier to get when two teams left. That said, the one difference from the past is I believe this year the championship series is Sat-Sun-Mon instead of Mon-Tues-Wed. 

I would expect that to make the championship series much more attractive to anyone interested in attending.

I'm sure it's been covered but a couple of quick questions for anyone that can help.  We're talking about trying to go to the Sunday night game if everything goes our way.  We haven't made any plans but are fine with driving.  What are the chances of getting tickets and a place to stay?  What is the best way to get tickets?

I bought on stubhub last year and didn't have any problems.

I mostly parked at the garage by the convention center last year.  I think it was $15 or $20.

Buy any ticket, sort it out later. You can always resell. They are all digital and especially first weekend you can sit mostly where you want as locals come and go. You may have to move, but it's casual. I had tickets with Virginia fans last year for that game, and moved over to our fans and had a blast with both. Freaking just go.

Unfortunately, I can’t get away this year.  My daughter is it a happy camper.

Yes it has!  When I went Texas wasnt in it.  I just simply wanted to go take it all in.  You are going to have an absolute blast.  I was in left field, and our chant was "right field sucks"

Why would you not move around?

We did.  We went to right field for a while (foul territory between 1st and the pole) and then under the awning for a while (it was 98 or 99 that day).  I think the best breeze was in left that day.

OK, I'm now at the Holiday Inn across the river at the Ameristar Casino.  That could be trouble and my F5 key on travel sites is more worn out than during a coaching search.  I'm meeting up with a friend and Omaha veteran that is setting up a small tailgate.  Is this the official "mule dick" thread for any potential meet ups?

Good plan. We got the first and last weekend covered. Hopefully someone has the mid week locked down.

@Valmy77 are you going?

Wish I was. Last year was amazing. It was the last time Dad and I watched a Texas baseball game together.

I may just make it a thing from now on. But didn't plan to go this year but now that it is here and I am not there I am regretting that a lot.

She didn't say "men's college world series". NCAA going to reassign her.

Is it wrong that I’m kinda hoping my 12 year old loses his LL playoffs so I can get to Omaha this next week?

No. Little league is stupid anyway. Unless his team is like LLWS good. 

Just don't let him know that you're hoping that.

i guess not many people made the trip, that place is empty 

Tix were all messed up. No one could get in stadium by start of game. Waited 45 minutes until after start for us to get in. Bad karma . Disappointed in overall turnout from us tonight. Irish fans had us outnumbered. Just not our night. Will be back to watch us destroy agroid Sunday! We still got this boys. Hook em.
