Much like the safety and sustainability challenges of building a hockey rink in Michigan Stadium for 100,000 fans, it is easier to bring a 50-meter, 600,000 gallon, 5.5 million pound pool to a 70,000 person audience rather than the other way around. Thus, the USA Olympic Team Trials -- ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris - will be hosted at the Lucas Oil football stadium in downtown Indianapolis. NCAA D1 Championships take place in March.
