After reading that article. I don't think Nola is that far fetched. We are close to hotel capacity. Would need an Olympic stadium and village. Probably a tennis stadium and aquatics arena. But you got tulanes new stadium. Superdome. Hornets arena. Baton Rouge.

NOLA in August is hot as hell and would likely rain on every single event.

Yes it is. Even if New Orleans does everything right and grows tremendously, they aren't getting the Olympics before NYC, Toronto and Chicago just to name a few North American cities. Also, the Olympics are usually rotated through each continent so North America always has to wait at least 12-16 years to host another Olympics. If New Orleans was a big city in a third-world country, they might get a shot but they have way too much competition in North America to ever host an Olympic games.
