Werner Park in the Omaha suburb of Papillion, NE, is the home of the Omaha Storm Chasers, the Kansas City Royals' Triple-A International League farm team. Ironically, given the nickname the club had just taken, its 2011 debut was postponed by a winter storm.

The team and Omaha-based trucking company Werner Enterprises announced the sale of naming rights to the new minor league ballpark five months before it opened. Sarpy County Tourism's office has since relocated to offices inside it, and a statue of Omaha native Bob Gibson greets fans outside it.

During the 2022-2023 off-season, Werner received a number of upgrades including but going beyond those required by MLB's 2021 Minor League Reorganization.

From 1969 through 2010, the farm club shared Rosenblatt Stadium with the NCAA College World Series. Pacific Coast League schedulers complained about having to keep the then-Omaha Royals on the road for two straight weeks every season - which would no longer be a problem under the scheduling system later implemented in MLB's reorganization. Despite that, when it came time to build a new playpen, the original plan was to continue that. However, the O-Royals and the city of Omaha couldn't come to terms on sharing the new home of the CWS. The O-Royals were looking into other markets when Sarpy County kept them in the area by building a separate playpen in Papillion. Both stadiums opened in the same season, 2011. The other, originally TD Ameritrade Park Omaha, changed names after Charles Schwab Corporation acquired it and branded the ballpark Charles Schwab Field Omaha.

Regular-season sellouts are reported as 9,023. A higher figure was reported once, possibly revealing the actual capacity: 9,351 on March 25, 2019 - when the Storm Chasers hosted their parent Royals in a pre-season exhibition game.
