"Union Omaha Unveils Plans for 7,000-Seat Downtown Soccer Stadium and Entertainment District"

A new 7,000-seat Union Omaha soccer stadium is set to anchor a $300 million entertainment district in downtown Omaha, featuring housing, hotel rooms, retailers, and pickleball courts, and is expected to host a future women's soccer team. The stadium, expected to open in spring 2026, will also host concerts and community events. The project is anticipated to be financed through state sales tax revenue, tax-increment financing, and private investment, and is projected to have a significant economic impact on Nebraska and Omaha. The development aims to attract and retain young talent and workers, and could potentially elevate Union Omaha to a higher tier of competition in the U.S. soccer landscape.
