Making a case for going to cws early....

[gymdawg.sixpack]

So back in 2013 my brother and i had enough money but not enough time to stay the entire cws. What we did was go opening ceremonies, gm1 and 2, then come back home and go back for finals. If you are thinking "maybe ill wait for the finals" let me say this: the begginning of the cws is a blast. Youve got 8 fanbases flowing with optimism all having the time of their lives being friendly and drinkin beer and just enjoying the experience. There's tons of stuff to do and one of the cooler times ive had. Omaha has thought of everything from the fans perspective. But when we went back everything changed. Yes part of that was the fact that ucla fans finally showed up and they were rude as hell. But the feeling is tight and just not nearly as fun as it is business. I dont have the $ i had in 2013. So im deciding what to do myself. But ill consider going fri and sat and watching final at home because of the difference.

I'm trying to go w family of 4 and games 1 to 4 are sold out on the site. What's the best way to get tickets? Also any insider tips are appreciated, I've never been.
Thanks!

I went and don’t think I’m going to make it back. The drive is brutal, and there are no good flights out of Jackson.

Eat at The Drover and go to the zoo, and you’ve done Omaha. Not much to it.

The biggest downside to Omaha for me is the layout of the tournament. Two games a day with two sides alternating means so much down time unless you are into going to every single game. It's great for hiding pitching depth deficiencies, but as a fan it can become challenging finding things to do.

I was thinking of going to Iowa and South Dakota on the off days... there are casinos across the river ...

Ga in the outfield will always be available. Like 15$ a ticket

They have beer in Omaha.

Ride to Lincoln to check out University of Nebraska, state capitol, etc. Find cheap seats to the other games.

One of top, if not the top, sporting events I have ever been to is first weekend of CWS

If you can go, go.

Just got back from vacation and it will be tough to get back. So much fun, I recommend it to everyone (of course, a lot of you have been and know). Happy our guys get to experience all of that; they deserve it!

Some good steaks in Omaha too. If you are having trouble flying into Omaha, may want to consider flying into Kansas City and renting a car.
