If you give Paris the games because of the attack, you are forgetting the attacks on Beirut, Kenya, Nigeria, Metrojet and all the other places that have been bombed by ISIS. I care and feel love as much as everybody else on this matter, but I dislike when other terrorist attacks are ingnored and Paris's is made far bigger then any other attacks.

Stole my words.I liked LA as an underdog trying to make the games financial again and that's why I went for them, but now I fully go for Paris. The attacks have changed my view on how comforting a city can be.

Hearing from other reports and NOT my own experience, apparently their are many parts of the city that need renewal.

Personally, I think this is a good thing. There are a lot of seats at the back of the stadium that aren't used. I think that a capacity of 70,000 is very realistic. I think the roof will be added during the season after the VIP seats are added because it is a roof and roof renovations to existing bowls usually allow games to be played in the stadium.- 4,791 replies

Posted this on my SSC account, might aswell repost it here: Stage one of the plan is to build the VIP Facilities with the universities private funds. Stage two is dependent on if their is an LA Olympics. It involves pretty much roofing all or nearly all (peristyle could be an exception) of the stadium. By the looks of it, this is what LA 2024 had planned all along.- 4,791 replies

I think LA has a far bigger youth appeal then Paris.- 4,791 replies

First of all, sorry for that last line in my post. I thought I had deleted it but it had dropped a line. Secondly, stop stating the obvious. It's really annoying and obnoxious

Sometimes I think FIFA aren't a horrible organisation, that they aren't that bad. And then I look at the IOC, which has done 2 major reforms in the last 25 years to solve problems as the rise up FIFA has not changed a thing despite blantant bribery in the past 25 years.

While I said the bid is not going to be won or lost on sporting infrastructure, LA does have slightly better venues. Paris does have a lot of small rugby and football grounds, which unfortunately don't make a difference in the bid. Paris lacks the many large indoor arenas that LA has, but I'm sure their is a huge market to build the roughly 2 indoor arenas Paris needs for 2024.
-
I'm sure Paris can do well with 2 more arenas
-
Paris or La are not going to win the bid on their venues. While Paris might have to build a bit more then LA, I can't see any IOC member having their vote influenced on this matter.

What's this laying-groundwork/dry-run your talking about. Who said you can't win on your first try. And more specifically, why? If your smart enough, your first try is good enough to get through.- 4,791 replies

There are some people who I fell are blowing the "Europe" factor completely out of proportion and saying LA will come last because of it. Then some people doing the polar opposite. There is a middle ground.

Isn't a bit far to say Rome and Hamburg have a better chance then LA just because of them being in Europe.
