Thoughts everyone?
I don't really have issue with a National's meet being held a week early. It would be neat if they could convince a few "Olympic stars" to hang around a few extra days to sign autographs, perhaps in the format of a "swimming expo". My main concern would be the logistics - Omaha is not the greatest or easiest city to fly into, and hotels will be hard to come by with two major swimming events going on over a couple days.
Also, I assume college world series is close to those dates too...
It'll be even more appealing if USMS/USAS arrange & reserve some number of Trials tickets packages for USMS members to purchase.
For me, the timeframe is great as it doesn't conflict with my kids' end of the summer season meets ... unless, of course, my 14 year old goes through some dramatic time drops in the next 2 years and swims at Trials:)
