Even though it's not exactly a neutral site (though neither is Madison,
Minneapolis, or Joe Louis), I still say Omaha could easily fill up the arena
for a NCAA regional no matter who played in it. I mean, if we can fill up a
25,000 seat stadium for the College World Series despite only 1 hometown
team ever making it that far (Creighton in 1991, though Nebraska has a shot
this year), filling 8,300 seats for 4 hockey games should be no problem even
if UNO doesn't make it. And if Omaha ever builds a new arena (fricken
legislature is stalling this year's attempt again), I bet we could maybe
fill that up too - it's expected to have 12-14k seats for hockey under
current plans.

It'd be cool if:
The Huskers make the College World Series this year, in Omaha's 50th CWS.
