From 1950 to 2010, the World Series was played at Rosenblatt Stadium. TD Ameritrade Park Omaha opened in 2011, and the tournament moved there. In 2021, the stadium was re-branded as Charles Schwab Field. It has a capacity of 24,000 fans but can hold up to 35,000 fans.

The NCAA and the CWS signed a contract to keep the College World Series in Omaha through at least 2036.
