777rak Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I think San Diego would be a great city to host the Olympics. We have the best weather. Coranado island could be included for some events. We have two stadiums the Q and Petco Park. I am surprised they have never really though of running for the Olympics. I know its not as big, but they have hosted two Super Bowl's. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FYI Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Problem with San Diego is that they're overshadowed by Los Angeles. Kinda like Philadelphia gets overshadowed by New York. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda like Philadelphia gets overshadowed by New York. Didnt know that, that is messed up. They should get in. Philadelphia IMO is a better canidate then NYC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie4040 Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Violence in Mexico is the bid's #1 threat. Mexico gets its sh*t together(oh sorry I had to stop and laugh for a second there), then San Diego is viable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4gamesandcounting Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 San Diego is a great city, its beautiful. But it won't be an Olympic city anytime soon. If its going to California San Francisco or LA must be favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF is really pretty but the bay is freezing, I dont know how they could do triathalon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baron-pierreIV Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 #1 - LA is ugly and brings nothing new to the Olympic movement. #2 - SF is really pretty but the bay is freezing, I dont know how they could do triathalon. Completely agree w/ #1. #2 - Well, oddly enough, that's exactly where they hold the swim part of the triathlon...in the Bay. But they wear neoprene suits. I forget now where the 2016 plan had them running. But I never really pay attention to "triathlon" details since it's just another duplicate, 'nuisance' sport.
