The Lucas Oil Stadium, a football stadium in Indianapolis, has turned into a swimming pool for the Olympic trials.
The building process took three years. “When you watch this on television, it will look like an in-ground pool, like the pool is on floor level,” Ferguson said. “But we’re putting an above-ground pool on the cement and building a deck around it.” The pool with the decking will be visible from the first 10 rows of seats.
The stadium also holds many people. In 2016, 200,000 people attended 15 sessions in Nebraska. However, they could only fit 13,000 people for swimming events. Now, the Lucas Oil Stadium holds 30,000 seats. However, there would be a lot of people. “I don’t necessarily know that it’ll be weird or strange, but it’ll be different,” said coach Todd DeSorbo.
The football stadium also has enough space for two additional warmup pools. They have more space to warm up and it would not be crowded. “The thing I’m most looking forward to is actually having space,” said Bob Bowman.
A lot of people are happy with this new stadium, and we all are looking forward to it!
