The College World Series continues to be held in Omaha every year. However, it wasn't always held in Omaha.
The reason that the CWS is being held in Omaha is because of the late and former mayor of Omaha, Johnny Rosenblatt. He along with a group called the "founding fathers" decided to attract minor baseball to Omaha by building a baseball stadium. Consequently, the Municipal Stadium was built for this purpose. At that time, the CWS was being held in Wichita. Rosenblatt and his accomplices saw an opportunity in the CWS. They had a discussion with the NCAA and finally brought the CWS to Omaha in 1950.

Although initially not financially successful, the CWS eventually proved successful through public attendance and physical ticket bookings. In 1964, the Municipal Stadium was renamed Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium in honor of the person who brought the CWS to Omaha. In 1967, John Diesling Sr. united local businessmen to support the tournament to crown the best college baseball team. Since then, CWS has become a staple of the Omaha community.
The iconic Status of the Charles Schwab Field
The Charles Schwab Field is connected with the College World Series in Omaha. It has been held here since 2011. It is a state-of-the-art baseball stadium.
The Charles Schwab Field outfield measures 335 feet down to the left field line, 375 feet to the left center, 408 feet to the center field, 375 to the right center, and 335 feet to the right center. It also has a seating capacity of around 24,000 to 35,000.
The stadium's iconic status is a symbol of passion and dedication in baseball, especially at the collegiate level. Moreover, it allows collegiate athletes to show their skills and create an environment of competition.
The CWS has a deal to be held at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha up to 2035. However, the CWS has become a part of the tradition of the people in Omaha. Hence, it seems unlikely that the tournament will move from the city in the future.
