    Bill would drop taxes on stadium

    Omaha's glistening TD Ameritrade Park looks like a city-owned facility and has often been called that. But if you dig through the fine print, it is actually owned by a nonprofit corporation that leases the property back to the city so it can stage the College World Series and other events.
