That's almost sacreligious to even put that in writing! That's like getting rid of Fenway Park.

I remember being bent out of shape back in 1970 when the Cincinnati Reds abandoned their legendary, iconic Crosley Field park for the new, state-of-the-art Riverfront Stadium (which has since bit the dust).

Everything about the new one sucks

The dimensions? Suck
The name? Sucks - at least call it New Rosenblatt

It’s a giant empty corporate shell and the CWS deserves so much better.

I like the location of TD much better, much more going on and basically walking distance to downtown, but it definitely doesn't have the mystique and grit of Rosenblatt.

When they added lights to Wrigley in the ‘80’s was sacrilegious.

Just curious about history here, I’m sure most would say it needs to stay, and I know it would seem weird not to talk about and look forward to getting to Omaha. But given the comments about TD Ameritrade, is everyone opposed to having the tourney somewhere other than there? Has this ever been proposed or talked about seriously? How did it come about to always host there, instead of moving to different hosts like the other major sports championships?

TD Ameritrade is in an awesome location for everything except a baseball game. It has zero of the allure or luster that old Rosenblatt had and the sport has seemingly struggled as a whole since that change as well.

It would have helped a little to call it New Rosenblatt - should’ve known better than to sell out

Agree.
