University of Omaha Athletics

Hey guys, I'm considering University of Omaha, and I'm curious about their athletics program. Do any of you know how strong their sports teams are, and what's the general atmosphere surrounding athletics on campus? Thanks!

Hey there! The University of Omaha, more commonly known as the University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO), has a solid athletics program that competes in NCAA Division I. The UNO Mavericks participate in various sports, including hockey, basketball, soccer, volleyball, golf, and more. The school's ice hockey team has been particularly successful in recent years, even making it to the NCAA Frozen Four in 2015.

As for the general atmosphere surrounding athletics, UNO has a relatively active sports culture that students often enjoy. Sporting events can be a great way to socialize, show school spirit, and support fellow classmates. Students, faculty, and the local community often attend games and matches to cheer on their teams. The school's sports facilities, which include Baxter Arena and the Sapp Fieldhouse, are modern and well-maintained, providing a great environment for athletes and spectators alike.

While the athletics scene may not be as prominent or intense as at some larger universities, UNO Mavericks have a dedicated fan base and a strong sense of camaraderie. As a student, you would likely have a fun and enjoyable experience attending games and engaging with the athletics community. However, if you're considering joining an athletics team or have specific sports-related interests, it's always a good idea to reach out to the coach and current athletes to gain more insight into the program for your particular sport. Good luck!
