No kidding. I’m just thinking about infrastructure. Where did everyone fly in to? Albany? Montreal? -- nm - Volnelk May 6, 17:08 4
- there were like 1000 athletes and they lacked a lot of the support staff they have now. plus it wasn't as big a ceremony, so way fewer hangers on. -- nm - mafic May 6, 17:21
- fly to NYC. board a train headed upstate. -- nm - Peglegpete May 6, 17:17
- Is this about transportation infrastructure? Yeah, I guess that’s an issue in the US. -- nm - mara May 6, 17:13 1
  - the highest elevation in the Adirondacks is only around 5k ft, which for downhill racing etc i'm surprised they could put together Olympic-level runs -- (link) - hollywood big shot May 6, 18:32
