PAPILLION, Neb. (AP) — Big Ten officials are considering Werner Park in suburban Omaha as venue for the conference baseball tournament beginning in 2013.

Omaha Storm Chasers president and general manager Martie Cordaro said Monday night that Sarpy County officials took Big Ten officials on a tour of the 9,000-seat stadium in Papillion (puh-PILL-yun) and made a presentation. The Storm Chasers are the top farm club of the Kansas City Royals and the primary tenant at Werner Park.

Cardaro said Werner Park is among a “handful” of venues being considered by the Big Ten.

Sarpy County administrator Mark Wayne didn’t return phone and email messages seeking comment.

The Big Ten tournament typically runs four days in late May. The contract to hold the event in Columbus, Ohio, expires after the 2012 tournament.
