NODO AND THE CAPITOL DISTRICT J
ust north of downtown, hence its nickname, this urban neighborhood is home to big sports, big music and big style ... and it’s only getting started.
The new kid on the block is The Capitol District, which offers a modern twist on the traditional town square. More than a dozen restaurants, nightlife options, and entertainment venues all in one spot make for an easy night of unwinding and enjoying. Be sure to check out The Jewell, a contemporary music venue celebrating Omaha’s rich musical history and great jazz musicians. Across the street, CHI Health Center Omaha (don’t let its name fool you) is the city’s award-winning convention center and arena. It attracts the world’s biggest names in music and entertainment and also plays host to major sporting events such as the 2020 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championships (1st and 2nd rounds), 2020 U.S. Olympic Swim Trials and the 2020 NCAA Volleyball Championships. A short walk out the door is TD Ameritrade Park Omaha, home of the NCAA Men’s College World Series. This summer tradition creates an electrifying atmosphere that fills the NoDo area and has everyone ready to play ball.
