Retromaniac Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Since I messed up last time, I decided I'd ask. Who would be your choice for the 2012 Olympics? My first choice would be Paris. France, sadly, hasn't had a Summer Olympics since 1924. My second choice would be London, as Britain hasn't had an Olympics since 1948 when it was given the Olympics to make up for the 1944 Olympics scheduled for London, but cancelled due to World War II. My third choice would be Madrid. By then, it will have been a decade since the last Spanish Summer Olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mings Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 NYC so they can build that planned stadium cause it is frickin awesome and the jets deserve a home of their own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrdevil Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 NYC so they can build that planned stadium cause it is frickin awesome and the jets deserve a home of their own That stadium isn't going to get built even if the Olympics go to New York. Honestly, if New York gets the games it will make Athens look good on getting the stuff built becuase nothing gets built in New York without a major fight, especially on the West side of Manhattan.

wheateater Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Considering how America has had both Summer and Winter Olympics recently ('96 and '02), NYC should automatically be out of the running. As for Spain, Barcelona was in '92, meaning it would be 20 years between Spanish games. However, with London and Paris both acting like the Red Sox in not having anything come their way in sooooo long, I'd have to go with one of them. My choice: probably London, since I dislike most everything French.....especially the university course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmee Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 I think London and Paris are the most feasible and thus the best options. However, I live on Long Island and would love to have the Olympics locally in New York City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesCraven Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 NYC, because NBC can use Studio 8H as their HQ for two weeks, saving $$$ in place of the IBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why 8h I know that's the biggest studio but it makes no sense to use a studio when you have others already set up, just in another room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
