USL expansion explosion: League picks up former MLS hopeful Omaha

One-time MLS hopeful Omaha has fully bought into USL League One instead. The expansion club will play at a multipurpose minor league baseball park in 2020.

Alliance Omaha Soccer Holdings principal Gary Green also owns the Omaha Storm Chasers, who play minor league ball at Werner Park. This as yet unnamed franchise is the only professional soccer club in Nebraska.

The team name, logo and colors will come after community input at town halls and the official website. This team, the first USL expansion club for 2020, succeeds previous teams Omaha Flames, amateur, and Omaha Vipers, lower level pro.
