OMAHA, Neb. —

As Charles Schwab Field gets ready to host all the games, there is plenty of work to do outside the stadium.

The organizers behind Baseball Village were hard at work, getting everything set up for the festivities.

Crews had been working for at least three weeks to get it all ready.

On Wednesday, they focused on some of the final touches.

Baseball Village said despite the name, it’s not just about baseball.

“There really is something for everyone. We’ve got new vendors this year. We’ve been able to kind of squeeze in about 10 more new vendors like Nebraska Furniture Mart. We’ve got Toyota here showing off some brand-new vehicles. We even have, you know, we brought Runza in this year was kind, which definitely a new food vendor for us and lots of baseball, lots of College World Series apparel, and even some nonprofit groups that are here just kind of tell them what they do in the community,” said Jenny Peters.

Baseball Village is set to open on Thursday at noon.
