There is a lot to be said about the Quest Center Omaha. Beings that I spent a good part of my weekend there (Saturday Hockey, Sunday Basketball) I wanted to point out some things that were discussed. Starting out, the Quest Center dress code for the ticket takers is a suit, that seams a little excessive, but I enjoy it. Moments after entering there is a beer vendor who offers 24 oz old school beers (i.e. Hamm, Old Style, Old Mil, Schlitz) with a selling point of Free Beer. . .Tomorrow. Along the lines of alcohol, I am struggling to find a drink that they do not offer, and that is because they have two full service bars. The food I would rate at a good solid 8.5 of course there are the basics with hotdogs, hamburgers and such, but they also offer Omaha Steak Sandwiches, a quality basket of chicken fingers and garlic fries, a money Gyros stand, and average pizza which are all moderately priced around $5. Since this was built realizing that the majority of the Omaha is taller than five feet and weight more then 125 lbs (see CWS seating) you can watch a game and still be moderately comfortable (bonus points for cup holders.) As for what it has done to Omaha, it is still just scratching the surface, the Quest center last year had something like the sixth or seventh high attendance in concerts, and the big names are making a stop now(Stones, McCarney, DMB, Coldplay, Diomond.) They are also pulling anything from 10-15K per basketball game and I would guess 7-10K for Hockey. This summer they are bringing in the Swimming Olympic Trials (which maybe interesting) as well at the final four for Volleyball, and 2007 has the first round of March Madness. If only the convention center side could pick it up, but I would say that is a much tougher industry to compete in.
