Not quite sure why Omaha doesn't try to get a preseason NBA game. I went there when the QwestCenter first opened and saw a Timberwolves/Hawks game. At the time the Timberwolves still had Kevin Garnett, so it was at least worth it to go. I remember hearing that the Bulls had played a few exhibition games at the Civic. I think for the most part the city would embrace it. The Wolves game had over 12,000 there on a rainy, soggy night.

Do we know that they have not tried? Maybe they just haven't been sucessful at getting one.

The Clippers with a then rookie Eric Piatkowski played at the Bon back in 1994. I remember mist people were upset by the fact they didn't play him much... But if they can plan ahead and play at the Bob...
