2015 Military Worlds Tourney location proposal!!!

I have played on Benning and only recall one good field, the stadium. If that is what everyone is talking about it won't cut it with just one field for men and one field for the women. It is going to be a challenge to find a good solid complex with 8 fields for the right price because like Pony said......it's all about the dollar. Not sure what those turf fields went for in Colorado for the Band Aid but that may be a decent option. Don't think it gets too much more centralized than that.

If they are talking about doing it at South Commons then it is an 8 field complex and a stadium that they could play "A" on. I played there a couple of years ago and it's a nice complex.

I would still throw out the complex in Aurora. I mean, hell, if they can host a Conference USSSA tourney, why wouldn't it be good for the military circuit? I still think it's time to split the tourney ... I know we're all wanting to get together, but I'll still gripe that the East Coast bubba's don't have to travel as far to play in World's.

We travel all winter long to Vegas, Palm Springs and Las Cruses because its too cold and rainy on the East Coast.

Nice... I'm assuming by Las Cruces you are talking the Whole Enchilada. I'm glad to see ONE team making an effort.

Correct! The park is South Commons, it was built for the Olympics when they were in Atlanta. Great park with a Stadium for Varsity A & the Homerun Derby. Plenty of hotels and the city of Columbus rolls out the red carpet.

The BSC has it's world tournament there every year and they have about 130 teams.

We should hear the official word within a week fellas!

So is it safe to say that it will NOT be in San Diego next year? Just need to know if I should save up for a plane ticket or a blinged out pair of walking shoes.
