The frick?


I know, Nola is just as good if not better than 1/3 of that list.

I read up on the Dallas bid and they have a serious shot. I'm going to put my money on them getting the US backing.

Would redo the Cotton Bowl and make it Olympic Stadium and already have the Olympic Village planned. Then you got those excellent facilities already.

That sounds sweet. Having DART (which I assume would be expanded) would be a big boost the way MARTA was for Atlanta.

But the Fair Park area surrounding the Cotton Bowl resembles the Lower Ninth Ward (except it's way above sea level). Do you want your shooting events that close to your Olympic Stadium?
