Any big city, especially one in the top 3 like Chicago, is first, second & third, a pro sports town. It would have no clue as to what the CWS means to college baseball teams/fans. Casual fans from the Chicago area going to watch a game between say TCU and Cal Berkley? The locals in Omaha are 1000% behind the event & it is their volunteer base that makes the CWS so special to fans from out of town. The games would literally get lost in a big city like Chicago. Went to the LSU/Wash. football in Seattle a few yrs ago. The city as a whole had no idea that the game was even being played, it is such a pro town. Generations of kids have grown up dreaming of Omaha. Not Chicago.

i used to l Chicago and while yes it is a pro sports town, there is a huge amount of college sports/general sports fans that would be interested in the event. Big baseball town
the volunteer aspect is probably a little lost there tho.
Im just saying the most attractive place if it were to leave Omaha is Chicago.
Im ok with it staying in Omaha. never been and I have heard great things about the event. looking forward to Bama's next trip so I can go visit.
Although I do think the new stadium design is lacking something.
