Nearly all these states are better than Nebraska. The states you listed have at least one redeemable quality. Nebraska is just fricking boring as hell.

Because you fricking bucknut..........Omaha is pretty centrally located to the middle of America.........
What this means in a dumbed down format for you is that UCLA has to travel just about as far as Maryland.(1500 miles to 1150)
Solid response
Omaha has several things going for it…
1) They want it and local folks support it so ticket sales are steady
2) As noted before, central location means equidistant travel from either coast
3) You can plan years in advance to go. People actually attend who have no ties to teams playing
4) Games played in CST allow for time over runs without canceling late games
5) CST will get more eyeballs than west coast time as the east coast is still awake
6) Because Bucknuts won't be there who cares what you think

Texas is in the Central Time zone. Also, the CWS isn't exactly blowing up thee TV ratings scale. It would make little difference if they moved it to a different time zone.

I love how some people on here make the same argument about the SEC tournament being in Hoover and then turn around and get a boner thinking about Ohmaha, Nebraska
The stadium in Hoover can't sniff that new stadium in Omaha.
Populations:
Hoover - 84,000
Omaha - 434,000
A lot more places to stay, a lot more things to do, better airport, central location to everyone in the US, etc.
ETA:
Hoover fricking sucks almost as bad as their stadium. Move that game to Nashville Sounds new ballpark. A real destination city with shite to do that is still pretty centrally located.

No one, besides people in Texas, wants this in Texas.

Actually the CWS and WCWS are getting more and more space. With the conference networks this will be a fast growing segment for the networks. No they will not supplant CFB but if they move from say 100,000 viewers to 1,000,000 TV viewers that is a huge jump and can be a supplemental revenue stream in the spring and summer.

The two situations aren't even comparable.
The SEC tourney is almost every team, every year. Fans could actually plan and attend if it was nearby.
Omaha is right in the middle of the U.S. It hosts teams from both coasts, and nobody knows who will go. I have no issues with Omaha.

so you have rated Nebraska as the 29th (or higher) worst state in the country. or the 21st best state, whichever way you want to look at it.
while I agree Nebraska is nowhere close to being the "worst" state, who the hell rates the 50 states? and how are you qualified to do so? have you been to all 50 states? surely you aren't rating states using others opinions. and flying over a state or being in an airport in a state surely doesn't count.

People arguing over what states are better than others is pretty ridiculous anyway.
