OMAHA, Neb. -- The ghost of Warren Morris is screaming. I hear him.

Or maybe that's the wind, cold and haunting on a warm day here, as it whips past the seatless concrete benches behind the third-base dugout at Rosenblatt Stadium -- what used to be Rosenblatt Stadium, anyway.

This is no longer Rosenblatt Stadium.

The College World Series opens Friday at TD Ameritrade Park, a beautiful facility three miles north of this site. It debuted there last spring, and in 2010, we all said our tearful goodbyes to Rosenblatt, the old, tradition-rich stadium on the hill in south Omaha.

The shell of Rosenblatt still stands, to be razed next month and transformed into parking lots for the adjacent Henry Doorly Zoo and the Infield at the Zoo, a monument that will serve as a nice tribute to the 61-year home of the CWS and professional baseball in Omaha.

For $250, you can buy a brick and get your name engraved on a wall that sits on the new, synthetic field. It's a complete tax write-off, say the zoo employees parked at a table this week on the shredded warning track in foul territory near what used to be Rosenblatt's left field.

This is not right.

Last year as the CWS raged downtown, local fans and visitors gravitated, by habit, to Rosenblatt. They found the iconic ballpark wrapped in a chain-link fence with signs warning people to stay out. More came than anticipated by zoo officials who purchased the 36 acres of Rosenblatt land from the city.

So the zoo decided this year to reopen the gates. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday through Monday, fans are invited once more to visit the ballpark. Play catch on the field. Snap photos. Sit in the dugout. Relive the wonder.

Florida State's Mike Martin, visiting Omaha as a head coach for the 15th time this week, said he wants to go see the stadium. Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn, who turned this place into a red sea as the Nebraska coach in 2001 and 2002 and twice led the Razorbacks to Rosenblatt, said he would like to take his team to visit.

My advice: Don't do it. This is not Rosenblatt.

On Tuesday night, I went as a guest of the Omaha Storm Chasers, the Triple-A affiliate of the Kansas City Royals, renamed and rebranded for the southwest Omaha suburbs and their shiny, new, 9,000-capacity Werner Park.

The Storm Chasers held a cookout for season-ticket holders. I took my glove. Tossed the ball for 20 minutes in center field, where Willie Mays roamed in two exhibition games five decades ago.
