Now that it's clear that Chicago will not be bidding for the 2024 games and DC-Baltimore clearly want it, what city do you think should make a run and host it?

[mattperiolat]

Did Chicago say "Absolutely not" and I miss the announcement? We also have not heard from LA or San Francisco yet.

[Athensfan]

Isn't this what the USA 2024 thread is for? Why another one?

[FYI]

^N also where's the news that Washington DC & Baltimore "clearly want it". Have the mayor's of these cities & the Governor of Maryland make such declarations..

Thank u for those links. In the future, however, it would be most helpful if u intitial posts such sources/articles, since a lot of the time, most of the opinions on these boards R speculation.

I find the Chicago one the most interesting, since it's the one with the most notable answer by the mayor's office. Although, not really surprising, it's quite understable that the city still feels the sting of the 2016 rejection. I posted in another thread like a couple of weeks ago, that as Midwesterners, they're very conservative & gave it their all, & still lost N lost badly. N as we can now C by this local newsclip, that's not far from home.

N as far as the DC one goes, it's nothing more than the former bid leader of the DC/Baltimore 2012 committee talking. Nothing really substantial & something that Gamesbids here reported last week.

Now it appears to be, that perhaps some noise may be coming from Dallas N Philadelphia. Another interesting note in the Chicago bit, was that Chuck Goudie said that next time there will be no domestic phase, that a candidate will 'simply be picked' by the USOC. Even if three cities show interest, I don't C how it can just be 'picked' without somekind of evaluation of their plans.

But anyway, like Athensfan said; I think we should move any further talks to the "USA 2024" thread. That's Y it was initially put up.

Thanks for the advice. . I'll see if I can move this whole post to the "USA 2024" thread

It's the usual post-Games fever. In a few months, those aldermen will wake up to the fact that it is the USOC that calls the tune, when it chooses.

[hektor]

To answer the question, I'd like the Games in New York.

The East Coast never had them. Of course other major cities like Boston or Washington or Philadelphia would do, but New York has this special, global appeal.

[USJay]

New York City or Los Angeles

2nd choice would be Chicago or Boston
