SF would be a joke. They have no real venues. Contestants would be shipped to the Sierras, down to Monterey, To Berkley....all over just to compete. They have NO SPACE to build a village for the athletes.
Talk about stupid....I guess that means it will happen
LA in 1984 had bike races on freeways. They were spread out all over the place; it seemed to work well. There is a whole bunch of space to build in the Bay Area. The trick would be getting things okayed by the environmental agencies.
This shows how political these are, Dallas has THE STADIUM 100,000 seat Jerry dome, next to it baseball at Ranger home, Mav arena (basketball and gymnastics), SMU or TCU for swimming and the Cotton Bowl, where they could build the village, there multiple marathons and bike races done here too, but Dallas was shut down in the final five.
