OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – College World Series fans wanting to avoid traffic congestion in downtown Omaha can use Metro’s Stadium Circulator and Stadium Express. The Stadium Circulator will connect TD Ameritrade Park with downtown hotels, parking garages, the Old Market and other attractions. It will run every 10 minutes and operate 90 minutes before the first game each day until 90 minutes after the last game. Cost is 25 cents, and special signs will designate pickup locations.

The circulator also will operate Friday from 9:30 a.m. until 30 minutes after Opening Celebration Day festivities. Stadium Express rides are $3 each way with exact change required. Locations are 121st and I Streets near Anytime Fitness, 102nd and Nicholas near Dick’s Sporting Goods, and Lots C1 and C3 of the Mid-America Center in Council Bluffs, Iowa.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – Fans at the College World Series are encouraged to text guest services staff at TD Ameritrade Park if they encounter problems near their seats. For assistance, fans should send a text to 69050. Type “CWS” and, after a space, state the issue and seat location. Examples of problems guest services want to know about are impaired fans, altercations and abusive language.

Metropolitan Entertainment and Convention Authority President and CEO Roger Dixon said the text system has been tested at several events at the adjacent CenturyLink Center and has proved to be helpful. Dixon encourages fans to report suspicious activity, saying, “If you see something, say something.”

The College World Series opens Saturday at 2 p.m. with Arkansas playing Virginia.
