How much does it cost to go to Omaha?

we camped at a campground on a small river about 15 mins from town for $15/night…place had showers, we brought ice chests full of food that we’d cook over an open fire, and basically spent all our money on tix to each game and one meal a day downtown. I love camping…especially when the evenings, nights and mornings are nice and cool like in Omaha…and we’d just gorge ourselves on 12 straight hours of baseball on the cheap. tons of fun.

Going next Friday thru Tuesday if we make it. Airfare, hotel, tickets=$1800-$2K

if you asking, too much

The more they win the more expensive it gets if you want to stay the whole time

Around $2k

Flights out of anywhere metro dc into Omaha or Kansas City is $680+. Ouch

Whew yea they are pricey! I’ve already resigned myself to the fact I’m spending some money if we make it. Have you tried flying into Lincoln and driving? Not sure if any cheaper or not but might be worth a shot

An arm, a leg and your first-born child. Here with my son from yesterday through Monday. Hotel one mile from the stadium but $334 per night. For Holiday Inn Express!! Luckily I had enough points for the first two nights.

Two tickets in the outfield cost me $350 and haven’t purchased yet for Monday’s game. Granted I bought them last Monday because I’m kinda risk averse on things like that. So it could be done a little cheaper but three nights and two games would easily run me $2,000 if not for my IHG points.

Unfortunately like everything the NCAA touches it turns into a money grab

Yep. There are obviously ways to not spend and arm and a leg, but like every other NCAA event, it just has such a corporate feel to it. The CWS used to feel like it was Omaha's thing and the NCAA was just there.
