Reported 6 months ago

In a bold endeavor to expand the reach of swimming, the U.S. Olympic trials for this year are being held in Indianapolis' Lucas Oil Stadium, the home of the Indianapolis Colts. This unprecedented experiment involves constructing three temporary pools, with a 2.5-meters-deep competition pool, in the football stadium. The colossal operation includes folding seats, setting up a giant black curtain, and utilizing advanced water filtration systems. The initiative aims to create a grand spectacle to elevate the sport and attract more interest, despite facing various logistical challenges and uncertainties surrounding ticket sales.
