Houston\nSt. Louis\nDallas\nIndianapolis\n\nNew York City, Chicago and San Francisco would have a hard time because there isn't much area in the city itself to build all the facilities, nor are there facilities that would work well for all the sports. It has to be a city with room to spread around it and area to build the facilities.

British Columbia attempted to attract a Major League team to the area in the 1980s, but their campaign was unsuccessful at the time. \n\nExpansion to B.C. is seen as a longshot for two reasons - one, because of the relative proximity of nearby Seattle (just 138 miles away), and perhaps more importantly, two, because the metropolitan area of Vancouver only has about 2 million residents, which isn't considered large enough, by Major League Baseball standards, to support a home team.\n\n(Two million residents sounds like an awful lot of people, but consider that the New York Yankees home attendance in 2005 was 4,090,696 - equivalent to the entire population of the metropolitan area of Vancouver attending 2 baseball games each and every year.)\n\nBy the way, in response to another respondent's suggestion - baseball is unlikely to seriously consider expansion to Japan any time soon - and anyone who has ever travelled on a flight between the United States and Japan can surely understand why. (And for those who haven't - non-stop travel times from New York City are 14 hours and 24 minutes to Osaka and 13 hours and 48 minutes to Tokyo.)

Not the Ancient Greeks, if this Wikipedia entry is correct:\n\nThe 1928 Games were the first true Winter Olympics, held on its own, and not in conjunction with a Summer Olympics. The preceding 1924 Winter Olympics were retroactively renamed into Winter Olympics. They were actually part of the 1924 Summer Olympics. All preceding Winter Events of the Olympic Games were the winter sports part of the schedule of the Summer Games, and not as a separate Winter Games. These games also replaced the now redundant Nordic Games, that were held quadrennially since early in the century.\nContents

I sort of agree.  Especially during the Olympics.  The USA is so much bigger than (moire populated and better ) than all other countries, why don't they compete under specific states?

Nashville,Atlanta,Florida,TampaBay and Anahiem should never had been in the league to begin with. Winnipeg,Hamilton,Quebec City should be in the league. I hope Columbus BJ fold first,followed by the teams that I mentioned at the top.

Berlin, Germany hosted the Olympics in 1936.  Anything dated 1937 or 38 must be phonies.\n\nThere are any number of sports memorabilia dealers and experts out there.  Here are some related to Yahoo.

The Olympics are staggered 2 years apart.  The last summer Olympics were in 2004, winter 2006, next summer Olympics will be 2008, next winter Olympics will be 2010.

They have not yet posted the prices for the 2008 Olympics, but there is a comparison chart so you can get an idea of how much you should put back. I myself am waiting for the 2012 Olympics in London...I lived there for 6 years and that is the perfect excuse to go back to visit!!!

It might happen again, but I doubt it.  I think if we're going to see Summer Olympics in the US again anywhere, it'll be in a larger city (perhaps Chicago, New York, possibly Orlando).\n\nThere's certainly a lot of economic benefits when the Olympics come to town, and living in Columbia, MO, I think it'd be fun to see them just up the road a bit. :)

The Olympic Games, or Olympics, are an international multi-sport event taking place every four years and comprising summer and winter games. Originally held in ancient Greece, they were revived by a French nobleman, Pierre Frèdy, Baron de Coubertin in the late 19th century.\n\n\nThe Commonwealth Games is a multi-sport event held every four years involving the elite athletes of the Commonwealth of Nations. The first such event, then known as the British Empire Games, was held in 1930. The name changed to British Empire and Commonwealth Games in 1954, to British Commonwealth Games in 1978 and assumed the current name of the Commonwealth Games in 1978.

The groups or individuals who appear in the opening and closing ceremonies are most likely chosen by the producer of the event with the approval of the host organizing committee and the international committee.  The production group would be selected by host organizing committee and their staff.\n\nThe host organizing committee is the group that puts together the bid for the city to the international committee. \n\nThe international committee is composed of representitives of the member nations and are selected from their membership. The national committees are selected from the national governing bodies of the sports federations.\n\nIf you want input into the opening and closing ceremonies, you have three choices: Work your way up through the rankings of the international sports organization, work with a group that is putting together a bid for future games, or land a job with whomever is hired to produce the ceremonies.

Seems like you're a few decades behind!  I'm not sure of the exact date, but the world used to host the Olympics every four years, and both Summer and Winter Games would be in the same year.  \n\nFor example, during the Cold War, the 1980 Olympics were held in Lake Placid (winter) and in Moscow (summer) later that year.  There was some controversy because the Easterners (Russia, Czechoslovakia, Ukraine, etc.) talked about boycotting the Lake Placid games, and President Carter talked about retrobuting by boycotting the Moscow games.  Something like that.  \n\nAnyways, since then, the schedule has changed, and the Olympics are every two years.  The seasonal games, like the summer games, are held every 4 years.  The schedule is: Beijing 2008(summer), Vancouver 2010(winter), and London 2012(summer).  Check out the links below for more info. (there are links to each of the sites from olympic.org)
