Similar lineup to recent WCWS. Don't recall Stanford or Washington recently but perhaps I've forgotten.

First time Utah has been since 1994.

[Bill Robertson]

Possibility of Bedlam or a Gasso vs Gasso final. Either would be very interesting.

Bedlam would be interesting but having one out of state school involved would be financially better for OKC.

Love trying to go to games. Went to the Big 12 tournament but those were general admission so I ran and got seats in the shade. Only thing that stadium is missing is seats in the shade. I know 3rd baseline for games in the evening but when these games are starting before 3 there is no shade. Putting up some kind of shade blockers to the upper deck would be nice.

I just returned from an out of state trip. My flight was packed with people coming to OKC for the CSWS and other softball events (the woman sitting next to me was coming in for her 12 year old daughters’ week-long tournament), as was the airport as a whole. These tournaments have to have a massive economic impact for the city.

Walk around the Bricktown Canal on Saturday or Sunday morning and you'll get a sense of just how many people fly into town for the WCWS. I try to make a point of doing it each year as it's always cool to see fans of the visiting teams exploring the city.

On Wednesday, there were five big custom buses lined up next to the 21c and Jones.

One was for Tennessee, another was for OSU and the other three were unmarked.

^Bama is in a black Mercedes one that says "Tuscaloosa" on the front. It's been parked in Bricktown.

Alabama is in the Bricktown Renaissance. Florida State is in the Skirvin. Others are packing other hotels, eating, shopping, sightseeing between practice and game sessions. Teams and fans are out and about all over the city. Between captured sales taxes, room taxes, temporary and long-term job creation, new injection of cash to the local economy, plus incessant plugs on social and traditional media, positioning OKC as the desirable, ultimate goal for teams and fans, the WCWS is one of the absolute best arguments for continued civic facilities investment.

While on vacation in Cozumel a month ago we sparked up a conversation with a family from Oregon while at dinner. When we mentioned we were from Oklahoma City they said that the only thing they really knew about it was the OU softball team and the WCWS being held in OKC. Not state politics, not the Thunder, not the Oklahoma City Bombing. Softball.

I know it's only one specific anecdotal example and it doesn't represent probably most people's thoughts about the city/state, but it was awesome to hear. Softball is a big deal for a lot of people.
