Today is one of the best days of the year if you’re an elementary school student in the Omaha area. On what portends to be one of the greatest field trips of the year, local kids are bused in by the thousands to bask in the sunlight, eat their bodyweight in cotton candy, and yell innocuous chants at the ol’ ballyard.
With temperatures hovering in the upper 60’s with a pleasant northern wind tickling the flags out on the concourse in center, the kids bore witness to a matchup between the hometown Bluejays and the bayou boys from McNeese State.
