| | Cool Running :: Olympic trials open for bid; Sacramento favorite to host 2008 meet |
 | | Sacramento has to be considered a favorite based on its successful hosting of the 2000 and 2004 trials, when 360,000 people filled Hornet Stadium on the Sacramento State campus for two editions of the meet. |
 | | Columbus, Ohio's Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium, built in 2001, is not given much of a chance beyond the cachet of the facility's name, but what a name. |
 | | Sacramento wowed fans, media and officials in 2000 when 187,000 people jammed Hornet Stadium for eight days of competition under a blistering summer sun, averaging a little more than 23,000 per day. |
