New 8,000-capacity Union Omaha stadium proposed as centerpiece of a 20-acre North Downtown development.

City plans to buy the land, build the stadium, and lease it to Union Omaha; project cost estimated at $114 million.

Construction could begin in 2026 with an anticipated stadium opening in 2028.

"Sports really brings like independence and confidence out of people, so I think it would make the area — not just the area but the whole city — it would just bring a lot of confidence.”

Union Omaha President Martie Corda
