re: #157 zandtar

On a side note, I wonder if there is any sort of study or report that has gone through the costs versus income with an Olympic event, over a good span of time? I saw something that said the last such event to actually turn a profit for the city was the LA Olympics, but there wasn’t hard numbers to back that claim up.

LA made money because they didn’t have to build anything; they already had the Coliseum, the Rose Bowl, the Forum, Santa Anita, Hollywood Park, UCLA and USC, several top-quality marinas, etc etc etc.

Salt Lake City is more recent than that, they made money too.
