From Rosenblatt to Werner Park: Martie Cordaro’s 27-Year Sports Journey

Omaha sports are thriving and few know that better than Martie Cordaro, president of both the Omaha Storm Chasers and Union Omaha Soccer. In this premiere episode of The Inner Circle with Gil Cohen: An Omaha Magazine Podcast, Martie shares his 27-year journey in sports leadership and what it takes to balance two professional organizations.

From his early days in minor league baseball to overseeing the growth of Werner Park and building a soccer culture in Omaha, Martie reflects on the lessons learned, the challenges of sports business, and the vital role of community support. He discusses how the Storm Chasers provide affordable family entertainment, why Union Omaha is still building its identity as a young franchise, and how Omaha’s philanthropic spirit drives innovation and resilience in sports.

You’ll also hear behind-the-scenes stories about Rosenblatt Stadium, Werner Park’s naming partnership, and the importance of creating memorable fan experiences. Martie’s passion for community service, from ALS fundraising to local non-profits, highlights how sports can be a powerful force for good.
