If the 2018 Congress passes a future infrastructure bill to provide funds for the country's infrastructure, Oklahoma & Oklahoma City will have the potential to add more dollars to improved its current needs.

Hall of Fame Stadium: Once these improvements are completed, and the future of the WCWS in Oklahoma City is secure, it's estimated the economic impact of this event will be $20 million annually. This will keep the WCWS in OKC for the next 18 years--up to 2035.
