Let's be honest - it isn't Halifax, Toronto is not going to undercut Hamilton and Vancouver just doesn't care. Unless some idiots in Calgary have a wild need for another public slapdown it must be Edmonton. Or the Quebecois having a he!! of a laugh. How wild would a Quebec City Commonwealth Games be lol.

2023 European Games
thatsnotmypuppy replied to BloomDoom24's topic in Other International Games / Bids
I was thinking about this the other day and I think the EOC has it wrong. The European Championships are doing their job - maybe a winter European games would be a better option? -
2021 Asian Winter Games: Shenyang or Beijing?
thatsnotmypuppy replied to Pui from HK's topic in Asian Games / Bids
The OCA has not confirmed anything. With Pyeongchang, Sapporo (again) and Beijing all able to host at short notice I'm guessing they are waiting until everything (sponsors/sport federations) are all lined up. -
Paris 2024's Official Mascot
thatsnotmypuppy replied to baron-pierreIV's topic in Paris 2024 Summer Games
LOL - ill fated 1992 bid. They were own-goaled as soon as they let Albertville run for the Winter Games - allowing Samaranch an easy way to give Barcelona the Summer Games. -
Neither of which is possible. Suncorp is not a modular stadium - it would require a complete rebuild. The Gabba cannot accommodate a track in it's current configuration and there is no land nearby to expand into. It is completely surrounded by major arterial roads and residential areas. Furthermore Cricket Australia have flat out stated they will not allow it. The only feasible existing stadium is QSAC - however access via public transport of spotty at best and the entire area is completely built up now. The best immediate option is Metricon Stadium down on the Gold Coast

TOKYO 2020 Venue Plan

The coastline down Zushi way would be a nice option as well. It is normally quite nice that time of year. -

Yep - https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2019/10/16/more-sports/track-field/ioc-planning-move-tokyo-olympic-marathon-north-sapporo-bid-avoid-heat/#.Xaf6uUYzaUk I'd imagine the medals will be still be presented in Tokyo - however this is a good idea. Maybe the road cycling as well? -
It's a local issue. I don't know why these Boston idiots feel the need to start grass root anti-Games committees outside of Boston. Do I think building a new 80,000 seat stadium is needed in Brisbane for any reason? No. Would I welcome the public transport overhaul a Games would bring? Yes. Do I think a region like mine could responsibly host a Games with the existing infrastructure to the degree the bidders claim? No. The cost and the way they are sprouting how much revenue the 2032 Games will bring in is ridiculous. The only way a 2032 Games will succeed is if local sponsors are

2030 Olympic Winter Games Bids
thatsnotmypuppy replied to WD96's topic in 2030 Olympic Winter Games Bids
I think we touched on this in one of the long gone fantasy bid competitions. I think the general concensus was the distance was prohibitive (700+km from Barcelona to Albertville, 800+ km from Andorra la Vella to Albertville) however that doesn't seem to be a huge issue these days. Yes - Milan to Cortina is half of these distances - however the IOC may be open to this plan to show they are serious about legacy. -

Ah Barcelona again. I don't know. I much rather another summer Games from them or Madrid. Maybe Lisbon? I just can't equate Spain with winter sports. I know they have mountains but... eh. It's a stretch.
