I was so looking forward to watching the event on TV. If by some off chance it gets moved to Long Beach, Ca. I might even take a trip down there to see it in person.

I was surprised at the planned budget for the event, why would it cost $60million dollars to put on a swim meet? It is a huge sum of money but in all fairness it is much more than just a swim meet. There will be swimming, synchronized swimming, water polo, and diving. The event goes on from July 17-31 so I suspect between the number of events and the length of the entire event as a whole, a large sum of money will be needed to make things happen. I would really like for the event to be moved to Long Beach because that is within driving distance from my house.
