2014 Men’s Basketball
Championship
OMAHA, Neb. – Twelve games into breaking in TD Ameritrade Park as the new home of the College World Series, many people still wonder what’s going on across town at Rosenblatt Stadium – the home of the College World Series from 1950 until last year.
Not much.
The streets are empty, relatively speaking. The shops and vendors along 13th Street are either gone or bare.
But before the stadium is torn down, more than 800 fixtures and memorabilia from the former home of the CWS were auctioned off this past week, as fans got the chance to take home a part of history.
More than 150 people turned out at Rosenblatt Stadium, and another 700 participated online, with a foundation supporting Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo using the money raised in the auction to help pay for a zoo expansion project on the current site of the stadium.
