Omaha Storm Chasers
The Omaha Storm Chasers are a Minor League Baseball team from Papillion, Nebraska, a suburb southwest of Omaha.[2] They play baseball at the Triple-A (AAA) level, the most difficult level before Major League Baseball, against other baseball teams in the International League (a group of 20 baseball teams at the same level).[2] The Storm Chasers are partnered with the Kansas City Royals, a Major League Baseball team. When a player shows that he plays well at this level, he may be moved up to play for the Royals.

The team started playing baseball in 1969 as the Omaha Royals. The team changed their name to the Omaha Golden Spikes in 1999. They changed it back to Royals in 2002. In 2011, they changed their name to "Storm Chasers". A storm chaser is a person who chases any severe weather for study or fun. Being in Tornado Alley, many storm chasers come to Nebraska and Omaha.[1]
The Storm Chasers played at a stadium called Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium from 1969 to 2010. In 2011, the team began to play at a new stadium called Werner Park.
