True, Omaha isn't the best vacation spot for your average tourists. San Diego would be much better for that.
But we have been to the CWS for several years now and we go for the baseball atmosphere, games and discussions with a multitude of baseball-minded people from all over. Sure, they'd all still be there in San Diego, or anywhere else, but they would blend in with the other tourists.
Omaha has the tradition and the entire city turns into a baseball town for the CWS. Everyone there is there to watch baseball, talk baseball. There are some good restaurants, the zoo, Strategic Air Command, casinos, and probably a few other places worth a visit. But we just spent 9 days there watching 13 games. There isn't time for much else. On the single game days, you will get the day to sightsee. This year one of the days had a rain make up so we only had 1 day to do the zoo. On a rain delay night, we ate at a steakhouse - not something we normally have time to do.
You have to go and experience the whole thing. It is not something one can just describe, you have to experience it to get a true understanding. Sure, there could be better venues for the CWS, but at least in my opinion, Omaha is the perfect place for it.
That's what I was going to say, but I was too lazy.
