I’m not sure if Philadelphia has a high enough international profileIMHO the universities help with that. Then again, if they get outside the campuses then maybe it'll hurt. But otherwise it has a lot of advantages a number of venues are in a single site and there’s room to build more, it has a number of colleges that can be used for housing and secondary venues. There are a few plans which have illustrated the potential layout of a Philadelphia bid, amongst them this now somewhat obsolete proposal:  Could Lincoln Financial Field be expanded to needed size at least temporarily? That's a good question. I kinda doubt filling in the two gaps in the upper level seating would add more than 10,000 seats to Lincoln Financial Field. Expanding beyond those two additions could be a somewhat expensive undertaking. If we cannot expand Lincoln Financial Field I like the idea of building a new track and field and Olympic stadium on Logan Triangle along with an initial phase of the Roosevelt Blvd subway to tie everything together. If it can't be Philly then I'd love to see DC get the Olympics, if only to see them follow London's lead and put a beach volleyball venue in the middle of the Pentagon. |
