Big News for the Baxter Arena Team Store


As of Friday, Sept. 30, the UNO Bookstore has taken over management of the Baxter Arena team store ("The Mav Locker Room") said Eric Hager, manager of the UNO Bookstore. The arena team store was run by the UNO Athletic Department in its first year of operation.

One of the biggest advantages for fans is that the apparel that the team (players and coaches) wear will now be available for purchase by the public.

The Team Store will open two hours before game time, and remain open after the end of the game. (“We’ll close when we get kicked out,’ Hager joked.) A common complaint from fans last season was that the store was often closed.

Other improvements:

  • There will be a phone number for the team store. (Believe it or not, it didn’t have a separate phone number previously.)
  • Hager expects that gift cards for the team store will be available for purchase before Christmas. (A great gift for the Mav Hockey fan in your life!)


Hager says fans can expect to hear more about the team store during games, especially hockey games. They are planning a “pop up” store in the concourse, and will be doing in-game promotions, including possibly using the MavX app.

The UNO Bookstore is located on the main campus in the Milo Bail Student Center.

While I was at the UNO Bookstore, I checked out some of the new merchandise. Here's a quick roundup of some key items:

Omaha Mavericks License Plate Holder – $16.99
UNO Hockey License Plate Holder – $16.99
Alumni license plate holder: $24.99
Keepsake Ticket Display Holder – $15.00
Wooden Sign – $30.00
Youth Under Armour All Season Tech Sweatshirts (Youth Small to Youth XL/Adult Small) – $49.99
Infant Fleece Footed Romper (0-3 months) – $26.99
Toddler Dimpled Fleece Jacket (2T to 4T) – $36.99
Adidas Performance Shirt (up to XXL sizing – "runs bigger") – $24.99
UNO Pride T-Shirt (up to XXXL sizing) – $24.99

The UNO Bookstore hours are Monday through Thursday 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Fridays from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. The bookstore is closed Saturdays and Sundays. You can also shop the bookstore online here:

Last-Minute Christmas Gift Ideas for a Maverick Hockey Fan

You've made a list and checked it twice. You know a Maverick fan who is both naughty and nice. If you're not sure if Santa Claus is coming to town ... help him out.

The stockings are hung by the chimney with care, but there's a spot under the Christmas tree that's still pretty bare.

If there's a UNO fan on your list and you're looking for a last-minute gift idea, here are some suggestions, courtesy of our friends at the UNO Bookstore! I was invited to come in and check out the selection for Mav fans. If you haven't been into the Bookstore for a while, I think you'll be shocked at how many items they have!

[We were in there on 12/22/15 and they were having a holiday sale -- 25% off any regularly priced apparel. Don't know how long it will last, but get there soon!]

Note: The UNO Bookstore is located in the Milo Bail Student Center, which is currently under construction. During Winter Break, you can park in any of the UNO lots. I recommend parking by the College of Public Affairs and Community Service building (just north of the Sapp Fieldhouse) because it's a 1-minute walk to the south entrance of Milo Bail. That's your closest parking spot. Go in the south doors of Milo Bail and the UNO Bookstore is right there!

Bookstore hours Dec. 22-23:
7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
