I wonder if this will in any way incentivize the building of the long-discussed new facility at the civic center. It isn't a big enough event to really force something like that on its own, but it could be the straw that broke the camel's back type of thing.

Oh they'll be along shortly.

I watched the live streaming video and ill admit i got a bit nervous right before they announced it because of Lima's video and how the spokesperson stated that it was a metropolis of 10 million and went on about its infrastructure. Another article i read talked about some other game events they will be hosting and the experience they have with such events. Ufa's video was nice too but all i could think about was a shot down airliner and occupied Ukraine - no way they are going to win.

Then our video was short and didn't show as much as i thought it should but of course knowing that the committee had months to look over everything and the quick youtube video was just that. And then he said BUR-mean-gum. Ha ha. Praise the Lord.
