ESPN unhappy with the new Omaha stadium

As we all know the new stadium faces in a direction where the wind is constantly blowing into the stadium, making home runs virtually impossible. This favors the small ball teams (hello UCLA).
A friend of mine spoke with Coach Fox who told him that ESPN has given marching orders for Omaha to "fix" the problem or they're moving all games to another location.

If that's the case, Omaha/TD Ameritrade folks will move in the fences before they lose the CWS.

huh... I don't think it works like that. NCAA and the city of omaha have an agreement for the next 35 years. They could move it somewhere else, but that's not gonna happen.

Whats wrong with that?
Seriously, college baseball fans seem to pride themselves in how into baseball they are. So much so that they choose to follow a version of the sport where some of the best players forgo the league all together. I would think a grind it out style would suit these fans more than bloop and a blast style baseball.

How could ESPN not be displeased?
The CWS finals sucked, but the NCAA needs to fix the baseball itself.

Don't take this as bitching because the park helped us along the way a couple of time too......
But as far as ESPN is concerned the park turned what would have been a great game 2 in most any other park into a blowout. UCLA won handily, but at one point it would have actually been 5-4 bulldogs due to Rea and Renfroe homeruns. Instead, you had people flipping over to a blowout where there was absolutely no chance of a comeback.

Hypothetically, I wonder how in Hades they could do that? Reverse the field? Change location of the field? Move the fences in 10 feet?

I went to six games. I think the wind was blowing in for two of them.

I'm sure this is 100% true and accurate.

Good. It is sheer stupidity that the CWS is played at the same place year after year. NCAAF rotates, the Final Four moves around...why the hell not move the CWS around?
