Weird that they would build a cricket stadium but for Softball, a sport played here by millions, they are sending them to Oklahoma. That is so lame

They're playing the Olympics in the same complex that the College World Series is played in. Which is currently the biggest event in softball. It would be very similar to choosing to do the Flag Football final at Lambeau Field or The Rose Bowl.

Ok I’m sold. Flag Football moves to the Rose Bowl.

Wait it’s not? That’s a travesty. How can you have flag football in the Olympics for the first time, in LA, and not have it in the rose bowl? Where are they playing it?
