Welcome to Omaha, home of the College World Series. Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium is HUGE—it seats over 23,000 fans. Most of these seats are covered up and roped off during the Royals games, making the park seem very empty, even though there are usually 5,000 attending on average. There has been some talk of moving the CWS out of Omaha, and some have started a grassroots movement at SaveRosenblatt.com. In case you were wondering, the CWS has been played in Omaha since 1950.

Rosenblatt Stadium is also known for their live organist, who used to play during Royals games but now only plays the organ during the College World Series. In 1988, Lambert Bartak was playing the organ during a Royals game when the Royals manager went out to argue a call with the umpire. During this time, Bartak began to play the theme from The Mickey Mouse Club. Just as he began to spell out M-I-C-K-E-Y-M-O-U-S-E, another umpire motioned to the press box and ejected Bartak. To the best of my knowledge, this is one of the only times I’ve heard of the organ player being ejected.
