BR2028 69 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Does anyone think that a US city will bid? My choice is San Francisco, New York, or New Orleans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
intoronto 650 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Bids were long due so no american bid for this round. Though miami made noise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yoshi 352 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Who else is in this thing, other than Santiago & Lima? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gotosy 493 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Who else is in this thing, other than Santiago & Lima? Ciudad Bolivarr, Venezuela and La Punta, Argentina Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yoshi 352 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 La Punta...OMG. Do they seriously think they can hold one of the world's biggest sporting events in a field in the middle of nowhere? It's like trying to hold the Commonwealths in Tiverton. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cslopes54 36 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 This is between Santiago and Lima. But sure that Stgo will be awarded. The bid is by far the best. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nacholympic 82 Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Does anyone think that a US city will bid? My choice is San Francisco, New York, or New Orleans. The bid election is closed since January 2013. The official candidates are La Punta, Ciudad Bolviar, Lima ans Santiago, being the latest two the contenders in the race.

Victor Mata 272 Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Rio beating San Antonio was not surprising lol. It sure was! It was in 2002, Brazilian economy wasn't that stellar by the time and Rio had TONS of promises to fulfill. San Antonio seemed to be more reliable despite being much less ambitious or international. ^^ Worst drama was when Indianapolis was picked for the 1987 games instead of Havana, which prompted PASO to give the 1991 games to them in order to calm down Castro since he was already throwing tantrums because of it. THAT! And the american athletes commuting daily from Tampa to avoid the PanAm Village because of alleged food poisoning in Havana! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nacholympic 82 Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Just 50 days away to the election for the 2019 Pan Am host city. Here there is a video about how favorable Santiago could be as a host city for the PAn Am Games http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjtbEw8hF3g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjtbEw8hF3g Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Roger87 201 Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 If there's justice, Santiago will win 2019 Pan American Games. Good Luck!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Iceman 1 Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 I was expecting that, they would be my choice after NOLA. So then I guess the next time is 2023? I not sure if America cares enough about the Pan Am Games to mount a serious bid. I don't think they get a whole lot of coverage despite being "covered" (and I use that term loosely) by ESPN. Although if a US city were going to bid, I would prefer Minneapolis or Columbus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thatsnotmypuppy 559 Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Anyone found the bid books? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
olympiaki-agones 52 Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 I like Lima and Santiago. Any of them would deliver great games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

intoronto 650 Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 according to atr its a race between lima and santiago with lima having the slight edge. lima has the caribbean support, the reason toronto won 2015. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ikarus360 599 Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 ^^ Funny. I thought the Venezuelan bid was the one going to play the Caribbean card for their bid. I wonder what happened to that. What is sure is that the Puerto Ordaz bid comittee is trying to get support from Central America at this moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Victor Mata 272 Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Lima is currently hosting the first South American Youth Games. Lima's got bad luck: the cauldron had a malfunction! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3Up-qHuW_U Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Puerto Ordaz might split votes from the Caribbean zone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yoshi 352 Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Puerto Ordaz?? Who are they? And if they're Venezuela, then what's Ciudad Bolivar? Beats the Argentine field I guess. Love to know what Danny thinks of that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cubebox 31 Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Hahahaha yes. Puerto Ordaz was the original Venezuelan bid Quote Link to post Share on other sites
intoronto 650 Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 If I had a choice I would pick Santiago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yoshi 352 Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 I don't know who to pick between Santiago & Lima. Maybe if there were bidbooks out there it would help. I know there were bidbooks available for the 2015 race, but seemingly not for 2019. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
