Sounds interesting to me, also dig the idea of stadium.

(although one note - the Olympics is actually a huge economic drain on whoever hosts it, because of various preparations and expenses involved. Small businesses might benefit from tourism, but it's a net loss for the host area as a whole.).

Yeah, I kind of already knew that, as Atlanta really did host the Olympics in 1996, but they mostly saw it as a local boom because of the government and corporate spending in the area.

Also, bragging rights, which, because of the insane ammount of patriotism, was worth more than money to the US.
