It was The Omaha Nighthawks, who hosted the first sellout game in the UFL history and the first game with over 20,000 tickets sold, were chosen as the hosts for the championship game on October 18, 2010.  The game was the last scheduled event at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium, which served as the Nighthawks' home field in 2010 (the team moved to TD Ameritrade Park in 2011). The selection of Omaha required the UFL to move the date for the title game, from Friday, November 26 to Saturday, November 27 (the former date stood in conflict with a Nebraska Cornhuskers home game in Lincoln, a rivalry game with Colorado that is traditionally held on the day after Thanksgiving).
