Testimonials
Chuck Wielgus 6/28/06
Executive Director of USA Swimming
"Omaha is a wonderful city that has flown under the national radar. It is a city poised to make a stunning debut with a renovated historic district, a revitalized downtown, a vigorous business environment and a sports-mad population ready to embrace our athletes. Some might raise their eyebrows at the awarding of our most important event of the Olympic quadrennial to Omaha, but we are confident this is going to be an extraordinary partnership that will serve the best interests of our athletes, their coaches and our sport."
Dennis Poppe 6/21/05
NCAA Managing Director of Baseball and Football
"This city has a vision, it has a plan. You can see this community growing up, especially if you come in from the north, from the airport. You see what has been an old railroad town growing into a vibrant, modern city. It is going to keep growing." (Omaha World-Herald, June 21, 2005)
