Its an interesting question but remember the Pope drew 110,000 people to that site (granted different time and event).
Our number one goal was finding a space that could help all of our teams thrive. We think UNO fields does that. If we invest in our teams, the patrons will follow.
UNO Arena is approx. 4 miles from City Park, it has parking adjacent to the site for 7,000 cars give or take, if folks arent willing to "travel" that far, should be easier to get a beer!

Hogs will do well there. The teams bring out a ton of people on their own. Those people will still come at a new venue. If we don't have to worry about drainage, we will bring more than years past. Might lose some of the casual fans, but way too dependent on good weather at city park for those people to show anyhow.
Stoked about the better drainage, easier vehicle access to grounds, much more parking, more lights and water. I think the event will run much smoother. Now if BO can simply not bring the rain with him, we will be perfect.

Agreed.
Will be nice to get back out by the Lake as well.

best of luck and we will be there at UNO
