Dear Gods, I've heard of more people that they get to play on their terrible stage at Omaha Pride than this festival can manage to gather.
They got Kristine W a couple years ago. No word if Red Sky can get Kristine W or not.

Olive Garden is always packed, regardless of the city you are in. They purposely underbuild areas for that reason. They want there to be an hour wait, because that gives the impression that they are really popular. Apparently their business model works, because I keep going back.

NLL and MLS

I have heard from a couple sources that Major League Lacrosse and Soccer teams have shown interest in Omaha. Apparently First National bank of Omaha is a big sponser of the Major League Lacrosse league, also their star used to play at UNO.

Also these teams could play at the new stadium.
