OMAHA, NEB. - So far so good from Omaha.

I got in around 9 p.m. last night, which didn’t allow me enough time to really get a feel for the city, but through one day I’d have to give Omaha a solid A.
The city’s clean and the people are friendly. Me and my photographer, Timothy, sat next to a true Omahian on our flight from Chicago, and he seemed really eager to share with us everything about the city. He told us which places had the best steaks, where to go at night, and some of the cooler things to do while we aren’t at the ballpark. One thing I didn’t know was that Omaha had the highest per capita of millionaires in the world. Something to keep in mind for when I graduate.
A couple observations from around Rosenbaltt:

-the best t-shirt I’ve seen was a “Free Paris” shirt some man was wearing. Really original, I bet he’s the only one in the country who’s thought of that.
-There are more shirtless guys in this park than I’ve ever seen in a stadium. I feel like I’ve stumbled into an audition for the Full Monty.

-Some of the fans have been entertaining themselves with beach balls during the game. In between innings one ball fell into left field, but the Cardinal fielder tossed in back into the crowd, to the delight of the fans.

I’ll be back in a a couple hours for a few thoughts on the Louisville-Rice game, and a UNC preview.
