The Men's College World Series is the championship finale of college baseball — eight teams competing over roughly ten June days at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, Nebraska, a tradition the city has hosted since 1950 and embraced as its signature event.
Beyond the ballpark, "the CWS" turns Omaha into a festival with the free fan zone at "The Road to Omaha," tailgates, and a citywide baseball party, pairing the games with the revitalized Old Market district.
