Mau2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Well, as some people know PanAmerican Games have never been held in any Central American Country, so where do you think it should be the first Central American country were the PanAm games could be held?

KRATK Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 I would say Ciudad de Panamá or San José... it seems to me that both are the most developed cities and also in the most developed countries in CA. Guatemala is struggling with the violence, Honduras has also a lot of political problems... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 And well, I think Guadalajara should do well as a (Central) American site for the next few rounds. THe other countires are really too small to have to spend for LARGE facilities that won't see much use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Mata Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 San Salvador hosted the 2002 Central American and Caribbean Games. Think they could place a PanAm bid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikarus360 Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 IMHO, Costa Rica, Panama and El Salvador (mostly because of their recent experience with the 2002 CAC Games) are the central american countries with more posibilities of hosting.

Ikarus360 Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Oh btw, Costa Rica is currently building a new 35.000 capacity Stadium at San Jose, with the aid of China. Current status Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenadian Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Costa Rica, Guatemala and Panama are my picks. The most stable, largest, and fastest growing economies in the region. Costa Rica has a well developed tourism industry and Panama is developing theirs quite aggressively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinhu4ever Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 As others have said, Panama and Costa Rica are the most likely candidates. Although I can't see them bidding right now. Have any of them show any interest in doing so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have any of them show any interest in doing so? San José did for 2015, but we didn't qualify in the final four (three after Caracas declined) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Mata Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 There's some rumors here and there about Panama City since the election for 2011, but it seems they come more from outside than from Panama... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faster Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Panama is devoting a lot of a money and energy into modernizing the Canal, they don't have the resources for the games right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mau2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Panama is devoting a lot of a money and energy into modernizing the Canal, they don't have the resources for the games right now. They're organizing Central American Games (which opening ceremony is today BTW) and they're bidding for 2013 ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misha Bear Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Well, as some people know PanAmerican Games have never been held in any Central American Country, so where do you think it should be the first Central American country were the PanAm games could be held? Panama City or San Jose. Costa Rica is richer, but since Panama has a larger population, I think they could stand the investiments better. If Santo Domingo could host, they both can host too.

Jim856796 Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 The Pan American Games have never been held in Central America. Central America's first Pan Am Games should go to Panama City. In that country, the Panama Canal is undergoing major expansion, all those huge condo towers are being built in the capital city, and the Rommel Fernandez Stadium has underwent a recent refurbishment. Rommel Fernandez Stadium can be the main stadium, and the National Stadium can be another venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectator12 Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 I like Costa Rica, I think Debi Nova and bananas are ther main export , San Jose is getting new stadium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raphael Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Think I've already shared my opinion on this subject. The question for the PanAms now is whether ODEPA want a Rio 2007 standard games or a Santo Domingo edition. Guadalajara, as much as I am aware, promises to follow the first option and, for sure, Toronto will do the same. So, if it is a tendency, there will be no much space left to bids from CA countries for obvious reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olympian Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 i'd say panama city or san jose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 I think san jose is a great chice as well as panama city because of their fast growing economies which means a bigger budget and better quality games. And with the 2013 central american games in san jose and a potential 2019 central american and caribbean games bid for san jose the investment is really good.
