re: Question for LSU fans about Omaha

I was there in 2011. It's great to stay downtown and walk everywhere, but it is pricey. The airport and hotels around it are about 2 miles away, easy traveling. Council bluff is about 5 miles away across the river, and rooms are cheaper there too.
Every day the put tickets up for sale at the stadium for that day's games, but you have to get in line early, probably before 7am, to assure a ticket for a reserved seat. They allow general admission tickets in before each game, which are outfield seats but still good seats. Lots of walking area around the stadium also.
You can save by staying outside area and cab ride in.
