The College World Series of Omaha, Inc. is proud to announce a special celebration of its 75th Anniversary, honoring decades of unforgettable baseball moments and community spirit in Omaha. This diamond anniversary promises an exciting lineup of events and experiences to honor Omaha’s enduring role as the heart of college baseball.

“As we celebrate this Diamond Anniversary, we’re thrilled to continue the tradition of welcoming players, coaches, and fans to Omaha,” said Jack Diesing, Jr., Chairman and President of College World Series of Omaha, Inc. “For 75 years, the Men’s College World Series has been synonymous with Omaha, and we’re committed to building on that legacy for generations to come.”

A special 75th Anniversary logo showcases the iconic Road to Omaha statue and pays homage to the classic 75th Anniversary symbol: the diamond. This logo honors the rich history and tradition of the NCAA Men’s College World Series while symbolizing its bright future.

Feature Website

A dedicated anniversary website (cwsomaha.com/75) will serve as a central hub for all event details, historical retrospectives, and exclusive content.

The festivities culminate in a spectacular free event at the Omaha riverfront, featuring live music, family-friendly activities, and an unforgettable fireworks display. This event is our way of thanking the Omaha community and NCAA Men’s College World Series fans for their unwavering support for the past 75 years.

University of Nebraska at Omaha Joins Team as Co-Host

For the first time, the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) will join Creighton University as co-hosts of the Men’s College World Series. This partnership underscores both institutions’ dedication to maintaining Omaha’s legacy as the epicenter of college baseball. Anthony Holman, the NCAA’s Vice President of Championships, shared, “For 75 years, Creighton University has been instrumental in the success of the Men’s College World Series. We’re excited to celebrate this historic anniversary and welcome UNO as a co-host, continuing to elevate the championship experience.”

UNO Chancellor Joanne Li, Ph.D., CFA, celebrated the partnership as a milestone moment.

“UNO’s role as a co-host institution for the College World Series is a milestone moment for our university,” she said.” This partnership enhances our national visibility, strengthens UNO’s reputation as a leading metropolitan university, and most importantly, gives our Mavericks unique teaching, learning, and research opportunities. The College World Series is an integral part of our city’s identity, and we are honored to be a part of its incredible legacy while showcasing UNO’s impact and impact to a global audience.”

UNO Vice Chancellor / Director of Athletics Adrian Dowell echoed Chancellor Li.

“We are incredibly proud to be named the co-host institution of the Men’s College World Series. This not only formalizes our long-standing relationship with the CWS but also shows our commitment to the city of Omaha as the home to one of the most celebrated traditions in American sports. This partnership certainly enhances the Maverick brand, giving our students, alumni and fanbase a deeper connection to this premier event, while also providing our institution with an elevated platform to show the incredible things happening on our campus.”

We invite fans, families, and baseball enthusiasts to join us in celebrating 75 years of tradition, sportsmanship, and excellence. Together, let’s honor the past, embrace the present, and look forward to the future of the Men’s College World Series.
