I hope they can find a bigger/better venue than Werner for that game, which I believe would be the first MLS match ever in NE.

Union Omaha to host Sporting Kansas City in U.S. Open Cup
Union Omaha is set to host a Major League Soccer team for the first time. The team will host Sporting Kansas City in the Round of 32 of the U.S. Open Cup. The match will be held on May 7 or 8. It's the second match between the two teams, with Sporting K.C. winning the first matchup in 2022 6-0. On Thursday, the Nebraska Legislature also passed the Sports Arena Facility Financing Act, which will provide $25 million over 20 years toward Union Omaha's new downtown stadium.

Re: Union Omaha 2024
Nope. will actually be smaller, but that's fine. I'd assume the tickets will be almost exclusively for Union Omaha season ticket holders with a few going to SKC and maybe a very few for the dental public. They can have some standing room, but Caniglia is much smaller in fixed seats than Werner.almighty_tuna wrote: Thu Apr 18, 2024 4:47 pm I hope they can find a bigger/better venue than Werner for that game, which I believe would be the first MLS match ever in NE.
I'm actually very ok with this. I was one of about 1,000 people that bothered to show up for the match against El Paso. If you have never been to a Union match...or, a US Open Cup match, of which they have hosted many, you kind of lose your right to complain that tickets aren't being offered to you.

Re: Union Omaha 2024
I'm all for democratizing the sport and making it accessible to the masses. But, this single event may not be that moment. Attendance will be limited and it's proper to serve your actual paying season ticket member customers first. If anything is left, you can turn it over to the general public.nebugeater wrote: Fri Apr 19, 2024 11:15 amomaha79 wrote: Fri Apr 19, 2024 11:12 amNope. will actually be smaller, but that's fine.

Ultimately, this should be a high demand event. What this actually does is drill home the point that a dedicated downtown professional soccer facility is absolutely necessary. It destroys the argument from the Her Derp masses that there are "more than enough facilities and a professional soccer stadium is not needed."
Want to use Werner Park? Too bad. Storm Chasers
Want to use Morrison Stadium? Too bad. State soccer
Want to use Charles Schwab Field? Too bad. Not feasible.
Union is actually really lucky that UNO has been such a good neighbor and has had the capacity to allow them to use their facility for multiple matches over the years. But, there is an end to where that is no longer viable and you're probably about to see that for a truly big match with a MLS club.
I think they should allow season ticket holders to at least buy the allotment they have now, if not double the number. A perk of being a season ticket holder and it's what Creighton has done during NCAA Tournament years when they are the host school. After that, open it to the general public, with the caveat you get first chance if you're willing to buy a full season package. After that, maybe half season. All else fails, they go online.
If you get shut out, there's always Stubhub. Good luck. You gotta pay to play. IF you're not willing to support the team as a plan holder, or buy into the idea of a new stadium, Stubhub is your spot. Should I get a prime chance at tickets to NCAA basketball when Creighton is hosting when I'm not a CU season ticket holder? Should I get first crack at a Omaha Supernovas championship match if I've never gone to a single event? Nope on both counts.
This is the absolute best advertising for the professional soccer facility that Union Omaha could have ever hoped for.

Re: Union Omaha 2024
Also, I'm not even sure SKC would agree to play at Werner. It's honestly a safety hazard at times. The fresh sod the other night was starting to peel all around the pitchers mound. That barely flies in USL League One, and certainly doesn't fly anymore in MLS. The only spot that still utilizes a baseball stadium in MLS is NY at Yankee Stadium....and, that's supposed to be temporary and it's NY, so juice is worth the squeeze. Omaha is not NYC.

Re: Union Omaha 2024
Season ticket holders were allowed to start buying their tickets for the US Open Cup match against SKC at the match on Saturday. They had a table set up in the concourse as the ticketing system was being difficult online. They have three tiers available for seating with chairback, bench, and GA/berm. The prices are substantial compared with prior US Open Cup matches, but this is to be expected. Prior cup pricing was in the range of $17 per ticket when I've purchased at the venue with a slight discount for season ticket holders.
The pricing for this was priced at $16 berm, $27 bench, and $40 for seat back for season ticket holders. The prices went up to $40 on bench for non season ticket holders.
Also, season ticket holders are allowed to purchase up to 4 tickets above what they currently purchase. I have one ticket and was allowed to purchase up to 5 total. I purchased 4 total.
I'm understanding the total capacity at Caniglia will be in the range of 4-6k? There is some debate on that with the berm seating. I will be interested to see how many tickets make their way to the general public or SKC fans after the Omaha season ticket holders have their opportunities.

It appears there was enough for the public and any Sporting fans that make the trip (though with it being a weeknight, not sure too many will). There's still seats available.

Re: Union Omaha 2024
The apathy of Omaha sports fans never fails to disappoint me. Sent 5k down there on a weeknight a couple of years ago and can't sell out 4k. I've seen a ton of complaining online of "too expensive for a family to go." That seems to be the narrative. Yet, this city wants to be "major league." Lol. not in this lifetime given those attitudes. Good luck filling the big arena on the prairie for the phantom NHL team when Omaha sports fan sees those prices. They'll want BOGO tickets, $1 hot dogs, and $2 beers, or "it's just not worth my time," after the initial buzz wears off. Cheapest sports town out there for anything that doesn't show up under the NCAA banner.Greg S wrote: Fri May 03, 2024 11:39 amomaha79 wrote: Mon Apr 22, 2024 10:54 am Season ticket holders were allowed to start buying their tickets for the US Open Cup match against SKC at the match on Saturday.

Re: Union Omaha 2024
Probably a mix of things. I think they pushed it a bit with ticket prices. The timing wasn't the best either with state soccer going on at Morrison. I think also there was a narrative that with season ticket holders getting to buy extra tickets that the thought process was that this would not be an event for the casual fan.

Also, has anyone heard any sort of parking instructions?

Sent 5k down there on a weeknight a couple of years ago and can't sell out 4k. I've seen a ton of complaining online of "too expensive for a family to go." That seems to be the narrative. Yet, this city wants to be "major league." Lol. not in this lifetime given those attitudes. Good luck filling the big arena on the prairie for the phantom NHL team when Omaha sports fan sees those prices. They'll want BOGO tickets, $1 hot dogs, and $2 beers, or "it's just not worth my time," after the initial buzz wears off.

They had a table set up in the concourse as the ticketing system was being difficult online. They have three tiers available for seating with chairback, bench, and GA/berm. The prices are substantial compared with prior US Open Cup matches, but this is to be expected. Prior cup pricing was in the range of $17 per ticket when I've purchased at the venue with a slight discount for season ticket holders.
The pricing for this was priced at $16 berm, $27 bench, and $40 for seat back for season ticket holders. The prices went up to $40 on bench for non season ticket holders.
Also, season ticket holders are allowed to purchase up to 4 tickets above what they currently purchase. I have one ticket and was allowed to purchase up to 5 total. I purchased 4 total.
I'm understanding the total capacity at Caniglia will be in the range of 4-6k? There is some debate on that with the berm seating. I will be interested to see how many tickets make their way to the general public or SKC fans after the Omaha season ticket holders have their opportunities.
It appears there was enough for the public and any Sporting fans that make the trip (though with it being a weeknight, not sure too many will). There's still seats available.
And, forget about it if the drive is more than 10 minutes from anyones house. too far. not worth the drive. gas is expensive and anything East of 72nd is dangerous.
Shatel: Why Union Omaha is taking on an MLS team at UNO's Caniglia Field
For this game, the capacity at Caniglia will be 4,300, according to Union Omaha President Martie Cordaro. Approximately 500 tickets remain.

Re: Union Omaha 2024
It’s that time again – the U.S. Open Cup is back! This time is a little bit more special than almost any cup match in our history. We’ll compete for a spot in the Round of 16 as we host Sporting Kansas City of MLS in the second-ever edition of our I-29 rivalry.
PREVIEW: SPORTING KANSAS CITY
For the third time in this U.S. Open Cup run, Union Omaha will get a rematch. This time, though, Sporting Kansas City are the ones trekking up I-29. It’s the first time a MLS club has come to Nebraska for the beautiful game, and the Owls will be hoping it turns out quite ugly for SKC.
The last five matches for either team in the league (and league cup) are mirror images of each other: Union Omaha have won three and drawn two, while Sporting have lost three and drawn two. Both squads have seen offensive explosions of late. The MLS outfit recently had a streak snapped of six matches with at least two goals, while Union Omaha has put up six in the past week’s time. As you can imagine, the burden for this match may then fall on the defenses to hold their respective high-flying opponents at bay.
DIGITAL TICKETING
All pre-purchased tickets at Caniglia Field are digital and can be accessed through your Union Omaha Ticket Account. Tickets must be shown at the gate for entry – please have them pulled up on your phone when you walk to the entrance. Gates will open at 5:30 pm.
The Ticket Sale Booths at the northwest and south entrances will open at 5:00 p.m. on match day. See the Caniglia Field ticketing map above for the location of your specific seating section. Please refer any ticketing questions to Reilly Raube at [email protected].
CLEAR BAG POLICY
Caniglia Field will enforce a Clear Bag Policy for this match to expedite your stadium entry experience and reduce security screening interactions.
One clear bag – either a one-gallon Ziploc style bag or the 12″ by 6″ by 12″ clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag – plus a small clutch approximately 4.5″ x 6.5″ in size.
Exceptions will be made for medically necessary items and/or diaper bags after proper inspection and screening.
Guests can carry in blankets and jackets as long as they are readily available for screening at entry.
PARKING AND TRANSPORTATION
Parking will be free to all in the garage and other lots around the UNO campus. The East Garage (P1 on the map below) will be the closest to park in for entering the stadium and will open at 4:30 p.m. The West Garage (P2 on the map below) will serve as free overflow parking should the East Garage fill up. See the map below for parking and stadium entrance.

Tough loss. It was being streamed by MLS and I tuned in during the second overtime. Last second goal was brutal.

Re: Union Omaha 2024
Absolutely. Union played pretty well and gave themselves quite a few chances over the course of the game. Though, their finishing left something to be desired. Overall they should be proud of themselves despite the loss. They play pretty competitively against MLS clubs.
