Paris is happy that they kept the cost under $10 billion. Beijing spent $30 billion. -- nm - Loyola Jul 29, 12:25
billions, basically you are building a whole university sized campus, half of which will never be used again. - zeitgeist Jul 29, 12:23 12
- Right. It's about whether they make their money back through the revenue share. -- nm - Mop🧹 Jul 29, 13:39
- LA I think has an advantage as they sprawl and have much of the facilities already in place on a dozen college campuses -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 29, 12:28 10
  - iirc, that was part of LA's pitch: "We don't have to build specialized arenas, they already exist in our city" -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jul 29, 12:44
  - LA will also become the 3rd city to host multiple Olympics, after London and Paris. - Loyola Jul 29, 12:34 8
    - LA also did it in 32 and 84, and Athens has had two Olympics, 1896 and 2004 -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jul 29, 12:43 1
      - Good catch. -- nm - Loyola Jul 29, 12:46
    - Tokyo missed having 3 by WW2 -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 29, 12:43
    - our third, in fact -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 29, 12:36 4
      - id actually like to see NYC try once just to laugh -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 29, 12:45 3
        
        seattle half heartedly tried to bid a decade ago. -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 29, 13:11
        
        We were quite close in our bid but a corrupt state senator killed it. I would love it as it would force the city and state to make major - Krusty Jul 29, 13:08
        
        The marathon would be iconic. -- nm - Loyola Jul 29, 12:47
hundreds of millions -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 29, 12:22 1
- one stadium can cost hundreds of millions. I think the Birds Nest was a billion. (ok google said not quite a half billion) -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 29, 12:37
somewhere in the Hundreds of Millions if not more -- nm - Remlik Jul 29, 12:22
Too much. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 29, 12:20
