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.
BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
In North Downtown’s Millwork Commons area, early support is already growing for the proposed soccer stadium — including from people who work nearby. Morgan Graser says bringing more sports and activity into this part of the city could be a major boost.
"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
