Nighthawks Stadium 1.0

I like it. The first Omaha Nighthawks game was played at (now demolished) Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Nebraska. Unfortunately the Nighthawks no longer exist due to lack of interest in the league. There were not very many cities on the roster, only about three or four. The minor league baseball team that played at the Rosenblatt was called the Omaha Royals who did have an affiliation with the major league team in Kansas City. They are now called the Omaha Storm Chasers and play at a smaller stadium southwest of Omaha. There is a bigger stadium just north of downtown where the Creighton University Blue Jays NCAA baseball team plays called TD Ameritrade Park. Home of the College World Series. So, why did they tear down Rosenblatt? The zoo is right next door. When there was a game, especially the College World Series, Parking was a BIG hassle. You had people parking blocks away. Some even sold parking on there front lawn; charging anywhere form $5 to $100 per space per game. The Henry Doorly Zoo now uses it as parking. They kept the infield and use it as a park I think.
