It can sometimes lead to the local government into immense debt and, at worst, bankrupts it if they bid too hard to have it built. The tourist dollars are never enough and many cities are still paying off their stadiums

Well then, I’m surprised America doesn't host them every time.
Also, the whole boosting the image and standing of the country there held in, tourism to the host nation, entertainment for citizens who can attend in their own country.The South Falls wrote:No. Look at Montreal.
