    There's a reason why London, Paris and Los Angeles hosted the Summer Olympics three times: money, facilities and infrastructure.

      They have the capacity, they have plenty of infrastructure. The only structures that would have to be built would be the athletes village and a atheltics stadium +/- aquatics stadiums, these buildings can be really expensive and NYC is the costliest city for construction. That can cause some eyerolls especially when NYC doesnt need the olympics to put itself on the map.

      @@ChrisPerez-dj5pn Out of the three things you mentioned, only the Olympic stadium would need to be built. The NYC metro area has NYU, Stevens Institute of Technology, and Columbia University, all in the heart of downtown to serve as the villages for the athletes and media. Using college campuses as villages is nothing new. LA, Atlanta, and Salt Lake all did the same thing. And Nassau County already has an aquatics center. Plus, MetLife Stadium has a horrible reputation, so the NYC area is probably going to be getting a new stadium sooner rather than later anyway. Might as well get ballsy and make it a multipurpose Olympic stadium like the Stade de France.

    • @ameritoast5174
      @ameritoast5174 6 лет назад +1

      I was thinking the same thing. They need to start only accepting cities that have the infrastructure to run the games. Yes its cool to see all those stadiums and venues they built for other games but most are rundown or cost a fortune to renovate into something else. LA 1984 did the right thing and hopefully they do it again so the IOC sticks to places that can afford it and now send other countries economies spiraling.

      Those aren’t bad ideas, but LA is a much better city to host the olympics than those you mentioned. There isn’t much building needed since LA already have the needed venues/sports parks to host the Olympics. Plus, it would attract more people if it was hosted in LA
