deawebo Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Guadalajara? Well its a great city, i really like the atmosphere during the Pan Ams but VENUES ARE TOO SPREAD!!!! I mean from the Omnilife stadium cluster (atheltes village and ceremonies) to Scotiabank Aquatics Center and the Telcel Tennis Stadium there where 20 minutes and where the closest ones... The Unidad Lopez Mateos (badminton, squash, judo, roller skating) it was 2 hours from the stadium... I think they must change their cenue plan to a more compact one, the problem is they used all the municipalities suring Guadalajara... Ceremonies (Zapopan), Badminton (Tlaquepaque)... When beside the stadium there was a lot of space.... still i want somehow Guadalaja to win cuz its cheap to fly there and we are Latin countries we must help each other hahaha Really good point with Roterdam... Even i'm thinkg now they must have that advantage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 I was just doing my research on netherlands and found that apparently Amsterdam or rotterdam are interested in the 2028 summer olympics, 100 years after the 1928 Amsterdam olympics, will they go for 2028? if so amsterdam or rotterdam?

munichfan Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Maybe this could also be some kind of test for the 2028 bid? If the IOC wants Amsterdam/Rotterdam to host in 2028, they may not vote for Rotterdam. If Rotterdam wins the Youth Olympics, it might be a pointer for the Netherlands to have no chance for 2028.

deawebo Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 For reals!!! Two hours!! The traffic sucks!!! And its too long the distance cuz they are in difftent municipalites... (Zapopan and Tlaquepaque) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladiator Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 For reals!!! Two hours!! The traffic sucks!!! And its too long the distance cuz they are in difftent municipalites... (Zapopan and Tlaquepaque) you're exaggerating! Guadalajara is a powerful city! Guadalajara has the experience Pan American games in 2011, where participated more than 6000 athletes in 40 sports and over for 17 days of competition. Now, they have the stadiums, and they have the logistics, and they also have the experience and the best games in the history of america. Successful project of the Pan Am games in 2011, arranged and adapted for YOG 2018. see you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deawebo Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 But we all know Rio 2007 was better, Raña is a Mexican... I'm not exagerating, traffic around 7pm is really hard!! I think Guadalajara shhould build more venues near Omnilife Stadium to have a more compact concept, and there's a lot of space there too!!!

olympiaki-agones Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Come on Deawebo, you are really exaggerating or lying. It is true that a nearly 5 million people city gets traffic jams during rush hours. St. Petersburg, Athens, Bogota, Pusan, Kuala Lumpur and even perfect Singapore suffers such thing, but two hours from Zapopan to Tlaquepaque? That is bullshit! It may happen only if there is a terrible hurricane near the Jaliscian coast as it happened one day before the 2011 Pan-Am, but probably you were unlucky that time. In the other hand, it is easy to suggest where to build sport venues and stadia, but where the Omnilife stadium is located is a very sensitive area ecologically talking. Guadalajara is a very experienced city organising such event since the first Pan-Am in 1955 being a co-host city, also prove their capability during the XIX Olympiad of 1968, the 1975 Pan-Am, the 1979 Universiade and two FIFA World Cups. And of course the 2011 Pan-Am. There is no doubt they could deliver great games, but what I'm afraid is the political atmosphere. Let's see how everything results after July 1st Presidential elections and all the other powers they have to vote for, and then we can talk about this aspiration to take the Olympic rings after 50 years!

intoronto Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 The games need to move off the Europe and Guadalajara is the best choice out of the three in the Americas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deawebo Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Guadalajara is the only city in Latin America (out of the 3 candidates) capable to host the games, but they need to make a more compact plan, i'm only saying that, and yes it was a wendsday, 2 days before the games opening! Perhaps i don't know the exact time cuz i felt asleep in the bus while we were in the traffic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
