Can you see a future Summer Olympics in St. Louis, Missouri? Why or why not?

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. :)

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's possible. But they'd have to show how they'd improve upon the results of the '76 games, which were a financial disaster for Montreal. Plus, since these games were boycotted, there's a legacy of disrepute that some nations may still harbor.\n\nMontreal saw the 1976 games as a chance to build on its world prestige that was first developed during the 1967 World's Fair, known as Expo 67 on Canada's centennial.\n\nMontreal massively overspent on the Olympics, following Mayor Jean Drapeau's adage, "The Olympics can no more lose money than a man can have a baby".  However, with rampant corruption, and lack of financial controls, Montreal did indeed lose money, over $2 billion dollars (US), when it was all said and done. Only as of early 2006 had Montreal finished paying its Olympic debt.

I have heard from many people that Sydney 2000 was the best organized and planned games.. \n\nI swam at those games, and I will tell you nothing in my lifetime will be better than that, I am really looking foward to the China Games because they have something to prove..

Add to the fact that it is a country the fact that Tampa couldn't support an MLS team and is too hot in the summer.  Even if the US gets the games again in 2022 or some other year I doubt it would put any games in Tampa.

i think the answer is yes; we will see billiards as an olympic event probably in the next 10 years.  \nas the the answer why american football is not played at the olympics is simple.  it is not a world wide sport.  billiards on the other hand is played all across the world.  if they can make curling an olympic sport  (which is probably the worst thing to actually watch on TV) then billiards stands an exceptional chance.\n\nwhen it does get to olympics probably 9-ball, 14.1 and 8-ball will be played with single and team competition

They always play in warm weather stadiums or in domes, right?\n\nI don't think they've had a game in Indianapolis or St. Louis.\n\nAnd there are college stadiums in places like Los Angeles, New Mexico and Hawaii.\n\nOr you could get really wild and have the game in Toronto or Mexico City. \n\nAll sorts of possibilities that they can explore.

Olympic stadiums around the world perhaps? Or the Melbourne Cricket Ground? Maybe the Arthur Ashe arena at the Billie Jean King US National Tennis Centre.

For some people I can see how it would spoil the results.  But if you're a true fan of the Olympics then it doesn't matter.  It's unfortunate that they can't be held on our continent every time but there are other people in the world besides Americans. (That may shock some of you to learn!)  But we can all look forward to the next winter olympics that will be held in Canada.

No, I think that the Twins and the Vikings should have their own stadiums and this would be good if Minneapolis decides to put forth a bid for the 2020 Summer Olympic Games and the Games of the XXXII Olympiad assuming that the United States does not host the 2016 Summer Olympics. Also, I think that it will be a lot easier for both teams to have their own stadiums but the disadvantage for the Vikings Stadium is that since the stadium will be outdoors, they might not be about to host the Super Bowl again in the future like Minneapolis held in 1992 (Super Bowl XXVI).

I for one will not be going to the 2008 games.\n\nBut then, I didn't go to Salt Lake City, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Lake Placid, or Squaw Valley either.\n\nAre people going to perceive me as anti-American?

Maybe the Americans can have there own Olympics because they seem to only want to play sports that are played by such a small amount of countries. Im sorry your dream is gone for the moment but lets try and even up the playing field and play something thats played at a competitive level in the other 90% of the non americanized parts of the world.
