The US didn't make any bid for the 2020 Olympics, so maybe it will bid in 2024. In 2024, it will have been 28 years since the US has hosted the Summer Games.
New York has never hosted, but I feel like the majority of residents including myself wouldn't such a gigantic event here, so I don't see a New York Olympic bid happening any time soon.
Despite its loss for the 2016 games, I still think Chicago would be an excellent host city.
Boston or Philadelphia would be awesome too. They are great cities, and it would be cool to have the Olympics in one of the two most historical US cities that are the birthplaces of this country. There has never been an East Coast Summer Olympics, so either one of these cities would be great.
San Francisco or Seattle would be good choices too. The scenery in the areas would provide a stunning backdrop for the games, and both are fantastic cities.
A Texas Olympics could be an interesting choice. Though I'm not sure what city would be the best choice. San Antonio, perhaps?
I tend to agree with him. Outside of Dallas and FW and in a city without Public Transportation is Kinda in the middle of Nowhere. I doubt he meant that the middle of the metroplex is the middle of Nowhere, but I think he meant that the Location in Arlington is kinda not the most convenient for large numbers of people visiting without a car
I'll just echo the previously mentioned reasons as to why no US city should for a while.
Second, what was up with the St. Louis stole the Olympics from Chicago? Yes, Chicago won the bid, but St. Louis had the more important World's Fair that year. It made sense for the Olympics to be in the same place and Chicago caved and gave up when there was going to be sporting events at the Worlds Fair to rival the Olympics. Furthermore, St. Louis was the 4th largest city in the US at the time, with the addition of the massive historical event taking place in the city at the time I find it a stretch to act like St. Louis had no business having the Olympics.
