I've lived in Lincoln 3/4 of my life but lived in or near Omaha for about 8 years of my life as well and will be moving up there come July. It really is a fun city once you get to know it. It's not has big as a Kansas City or Minneapolis but still has all the same pleasures of food, entertainment, and nightlife wise.Claymores wrote:Hi Jim, welcome! Our daughter lived in Omaha for a couple of years while doing an apprenticeship with with the Omaha Community Theater, so we got over there several times year. Sorry to say we never caught up with the Stormchasers. We really enjoyed Omaha, though. The old downtown section along the river is a lot of fun.
Hope you enjoy your stay in PEBA, May it be a long one! The Claymores and Lions play each other quite a bit, so I look forward to renewing the rivalry!
Again, welcome!
Once the team rebranded from the Omaha Royals to the Stormchasers, and famous Rosenblatt Stadium (home of the College World Series) was torn down to make more room for the zoo, they moved far out West making it not very accessible for people visiting. But the new stadium provides a great Minor League experience surrounded by parking lot and corn fields.
I am excited to start playing both the Scottish and London Underground for those European rivalry showdowns (Unless Brexit also happened in the PEBA Universe, and if that's the case I need to get to work reading!)
Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!
