Iowa already has the Field of Dreams in Dyersville. Could Council Bluffs be the site of a new ballpark and future home of the College World Series if Omaha lost it?

"I grew up at Rosenblatt Stadium in respect that my dad took me there in the 1950s,” says Council Bluffs Mayor Tom Hanafan.

Hanafan doesn't want to step on toes while Omaha figures out its plan, but knows there's land available along the Iowa side of the Missouri River for a ballpark, specifically on the other end of the pedestrian bridge now under construction. "If it got bogged down, I think it would make sense for us to look at it."

"If you want to keep it close to downtown, there's some areas that are available, but again the political side of it and the corporate side of it would have to work."

Business owners in the Bluffs say moving the College World Series to Council Bluffs, perhaps the old Playland Park site, is a good idea. “Playland Park would be a good location, you can see the Omaha skyline, the river, nice bridge walking over,” says business owner Phil Storey.

“You gotta keep it in the metro because that’s a huge source of revenue for everybody, not just people in Omaha, but still for businesses in Council Bluffs," says business owner Randy Dragon. "Just the bar business we get over here alone just to watch the game."

"It's on the short list,” says Jason Smith of the Save Rosenblatt committee, who believes Council Bluff's interest only shows how difficult it will be to build a downtown stadium and why the CWS answer is keeping it at Rosenblatt. "We're in the game. We've always been in the game."

"Whether it's Orlando, Florida, Indianapolis, Indiana or Council Bluffs, Iowa, if it leaves Omaha, it leaves Omaha,” says Omaha City Councilman Chuck Sigerson. “I think we need to keep it here."

Sigerson has stacks of surveys from his constituents to prove it. “It lets me keep my finger on the pulse of what's happening."

Hundreds of responses to the questions he posed about the College World Series’ future. Almost all want to keep it in Omaha, 99% say no to an entertainment tax to pay for it, which Omaha Mayor Mike Fahey has suggested.

Where should the series be played? "The general majority wanted it left at Rosenblatt, but I received numerous comments, but if you can build it downtown without raising property taxes, I don't have a problem with that,” says Sigerson.

Omaha needs to make a decision by the end of April. That's when the NCAA can start talking with other cities.

The Stadium Oversight Committee met again Thursday morning, but no one would comment on what was discussed. The committee has said it will make a recommendation by next month.
