actually, NOT ONE PERSON has commented " there are plenty of places in LA that are just as good as OKC" not a single one. stating that one should or could keep softball in LA is a different matter than stating facility X is as good or better than facility . I guess if one feels softball has to be played at the best possible facility to be 'worthy', and have players isolated and playing in 95 to 105 degress, then OK then!! go for it!! lmfao, guess someone did not really read the comments or has a reading comprehension issue. It's not literal. I'm paraphrasing the sentiment of some of the comments. And your reading comprehension leaves a lot to be desired, lol. no, you aren't paraphrasing the sentiment at all. if you were paraphrasing, then you would have clearly stated you are paraphrasing. you were simply mistating in an attempt ot embellish your own opinion, as you have now clarified, which you didn't do in the first place, becasue what you stated was not accurate. but whatever again, if people think it's so important to have softball in Oklahoma because it needs to be the best stadium, then just state so. but whatever ..insult away!

Interacting with that poster is always a headache. Makes me feel like I have more brain damage than I do, or maybe my injury was very traumatic afterall.

It doesn’t have to be the best, but adequate would be nice. Nothing in Southern California meets their requirements for capacity and quality of the facilities. I’m sure that if there was an 8000 seat softball stadium in Southern California, they would have made it work with renovations. But there really isn’t the regular need for that. The current plans call for possibly the nicest setup for swimming in Olympics history. All they need is a decent sized indoor stadium.

The current plans call for possibly the nicest setup for swimming in Olympics history. All they need is a decent sized indoor stadium. ok, so please tell us what the requirements are? 2000, 4000, 8000 ? so what are the actual requirements? and interesting this wasn't vetted during the bid process and in the award process, and part of the bid maybe it's just LA organizers are realizing that gettng projects done and stuff done in California is a nightmare. ....like where's that bullet train that we tried to get started in 2000s, maybe 2040? I'm not gonna watch softball anyway, just find it hilarious all the stumbling and bumbling about occurring about the subject. OKC bailing out LA, lol, is what is happening, and I'm sure they are happy to do so. my guess is the temp swiming facility ends up being over $250 million when all is said and done...... could have built a better permanent softball facility or swimming facility for that money, well probably not in Cali

The equipment gets reused. It’s not that hard to understand that they’ll probably make money from ticket sales, and it’s not like building a temporary facility on a vacant plot of land.

There are companies that make temporary pools. They used temporary setups in Omaha for Olympics trials in an indoor arena.

Yeah, it's always frustrating if you have to explain basic concepts like paraphrasing or hyperbole. Anyway, will you be making the trip to OKC? I've actually never been to OKC in general, ironically. I guess I could go, but, I'd also have to see the rosters and see what interests me. Especially depending on the state of Japan, and which players will play for Canada/Mexico/Puerto Rico (who could field strong teams of former NCAA players). But since I lived in LA for a decade, I'd like to go back for the games and check out some of the volleyball matches and I see that as more likely. An absolute fever dream would be if USA, Dominican Republic, Canada, AND Mexico could all qualify for LA 2028 in volleyball. There's probably close to zero percent chance of that happening, but if you take out Mexico, DR and Canada could absolutely both be there.

It’s not that hard to understand that they’ll probably make money from ticket sales, and it’s not like building a temporary facility on a vacant plot of land. for swimming that'll be interesting. if they can sell approx. 30,000 extra tickets in LA for 8 days @ $50, that'd be close to $12 million. I doubt re-use for what is conceived is anywhere close to $10 million Swimming is x100 more high profile than softball, so the Olympic Committee I'm sure expects something grand. still interesting it wasn't sorted out in the bid.

I'll probably head out to LA myself if my sister still lives there (she and her boyfriend are talking about moving to Nashville, but I have no idea if that will happen). Volleyball would be great to see, and I would love to attend track and field at the Olympics. I was thinking that Oklahoma City might be a good fallback option if the ticket prices in LA are just ridiculously expensive. I've never been there either, but the WCWS always seems fun.

USC’s swim stadium holds 2500. They’re looking at up to 38,000 seating for swimming. If USA Swimming can justify a temporary setup in Omaha or Indy, I don’t see why it suddenly becomes a stupid idea for the Olympics.
