CWS: Fans lined up for hours

By Lindsay Schnell - June 24, 2006

Has it occured to anyone else that everything in Omaha is built on a hill? When you're walking up the hill you think to yourself "It's okay, this is going to pay off later when I have to walk back and get to go downhill."

Somehow, it doesn't seem to work out that way.

Anyway, fans are just being let into the ballpark after standing outside baking on that hill so they could get the good gernal admission seats. UNC arrived a little awhile ago and is on the field right now and OSU just walked into the dugout.

It's going to be a good one folks -- I know UNC's bullpen is very rested, but I don't think the Beavers are going to just roll over and give the Tar Heels a championship ring. It'll be a battle and oh boy, a fun one to watch.

For all of you NOT in Omaha, there's a billboard on I-80 advertising the CWS that reads: "The Greatest Show on Dirt." That, you have to admit, is very catchy and very clever.
