    1. Great to see another project dividing us up by gender, race, etc. Maybe they can help out by getting the language changed to capitalize “Women” and lower-case “men.” That would be awesome, and in keeping.

      1. We white men did that dividing generations ago…only we didn’t do it to lift up women and racial minorities…we did it to suppress. Not sure how that persists today? Well, just go ask the kicker for the KC Chiefs.

        Think about how long its taken the Halls of Fame to introduce sections for women sports stars. Think about how the women’s soccer team had to take serious action to be paid as much for their Olympic and other game appearances as men.

        Now, thanks to folks like Marvella Bayh, Wilma Rudolph, Billy Jean King, and many others, women have a place in sports, and soon will have a place to go celebrate. Good luck.

    2. This location is 30 miles from nowhere. That makes no sense. And very few hotels, restaurants, of entertainment in the area. Travel teams are attracted to urban areas, not cornfields.

      1. Michael D: any chance you’ve driven near Westfield, or more specifically US 31 and IN 32 lately? Westfield was 30 miles from nowhere. Or at least 15. Now, with Grand Park, its become its own place. Its not an urban location; its barely suburban. With thousands, if not tens of thousands, of travel team players each year. In the immortal words of Field of Dreams, if you build it they will come…

        Driven past the Fair Oaks facility lately? It’s become huge. And they have a hotel already. And lots of open ground. Everything you need to build a place for the people to come.

      2. totally agree with you. I see someone mentioned Grand Park and Westfield….well, Westfield was never “the middle of nowhere”…it’s literally on the edge of Carmel, Noblesville and Zionsville, less than 40 min from downtown Indianapolis and less than 30 min from most of Fishers. I am not saying that I don’t like the idea of a female focused sports campus but that area around Fair Oaks??? The closest hotels, besides the small one on their campus, are over 30 minutes away. I’m just not sure this makes sense financially, especially if it’s truly just for women’s sports teams.

    3. I realize this is just IBJ pandering to their fellow Democrats, but what makes a sports complex “woman focused” and why is it needed?
      Are women banned from Grand Park? Exactly what details of a sports complex make it woman focused?
