Omaha City Council Approves Agreements to Advance Union Omaha's Downtown Stadium
The stadium will create opportunities to strengthen connections between downtown Omaha and surrounding neighborhoods and support continued investment in the city's urban core.
Union Omaha recently announced that the Omaha City Council approved the redevelopment agreement and stadium lease for the soccer team’s new downtown stadium. This approval advances a major public-private partnership expected to bring approximately $330 million in total investment to Omaha's urban core through the new professional soccer stadium and surrounding mixed-use district.
Located at 10th and Izard Streets, just north of Cuming Street and Charles Schwab Field, the stadium is set to open in 2028 and will serve as the permanent home for Union Omaha, a future women's professional soccer team and a youth academy. It will also accommodate concerts, community events and other activities throughout the year. The development transforms underutilized land into a walkable destination and is set to anchor a broader mixed-use district featuring new housing, restaurants, retail, entertainment and public spaces, which, once complete, will create opportunities to strengthen connections between downtown Omaha and surrounding neighborhoods.

Together, the team brings extensive experience in sports-anchored mixed-use development projects.
