  • The Omaha Storm Chasers are a minor league baseball team based in Omaha, Nebraska, United States. The team is the Triple-A affiliate of the Kansas City Royals major league club. The Storm Chasers have been a member of the expanded Pacific Coast League since 1998. From 1969 to 1997, Omaha played in the now dissolved American Association. The team is owned by the Omaha Royals Limited Partnership, principal owners include Warren Buffett & Walter Scott, Jr. The Royals play in Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium, home to the College World Series for over 50 years. Omaha has been the only Triple-A location for the Kansas City Royals since their inception in 1969. Beginning with the 1999 season, the team nickname was changed to the Omaha Golden Spikes. The name change was a reference to the Golden Spike driven at Promontory Summit, Utah to celebrate the completion of the First Transcontinental Railroad in 1869. It was intended to celebrate the rich railroad tradition in Omaha, headquarters of Union Pacific. However, the name change proved to be unpopular with some fans, and after three seasons the team name was changed back to the Royals in 2002. In 2011, the team name was changed to the Omaha Storm Chasers. Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium is one of the few stadiums that still uses live music instead of prerecorded music. From 1973 through 2002, Lambert Bartak was the full-time organist; he holds the distinction of being one of very few baseball organists to be ejected from a game.
