My Weekend in Omaha - Part II - Werner Park

Now, on to Werner Park, home of the Omaha Storm Chasers, and head groundskeeper, Mitch McClary.

Let's take a photo tour of this new facility:

Exterior view - as you can see, this is a rural area, Papillion, NE. The area is prime from development in the next 3-5 years.


Next, a couple photos of the press box and suite level, notice the logo stitched into the leather seats.




A shot of the dugout suite. This suite, down the LF line, has a full food and beverage menu along with a private restroom. A very unique seat.


A photo of the scoreboard and from the bullpens. The clubhouses are in LF. The players walk down a ramp in the LF corner and onto the field. It is a great fan/player interaction area.



The mowing pattern on Saturday night. Notice the lightning bolt in the pattern. The outfield is 100% Kentucky bluegrass while the infield and foul territory areas are a blue/rye blend. Also, the infield is conditioned with 100% Diamond Pro Professional Brown Infield Conditioner.



A couple of “field level” views.



Finally, the Werner Park logo and myself with Stormy!



What a great facility to serve the great Omaha area! Thanks to Mitch and his wife, Anna for hosting myself and the traveling party hosted by Brad Garrison and Tom Burns from Diamond Pro.
