I think 2024 is the next slot available.

Oh sure.

A catastrophe movie.
Combining the worst parts of katrina, the munich olympics, and revelations.

Oh sure, invite armed men from southern nigeria to ravage the velodrome on a tear to end dutch domination of oil in niger delta (some such geopolitical fufurah).

And how bout that train from b.r.? No? Then enjoy the commute. Omg.

I don't see why not. Nola has the infrastructure to support it. Baton Rouge too.

We get this question all the time and it's beyond dumb.

Nola is way, way too small, has no public transportation, is poor as shite, doesn't have the infrastructure, the crime level is outrageous, and it would be during hurricane season.

But our government is corrupt enough.

Now that the statues are gone, NOLA can do anything!

That's not necessarily an obstacle. The Winter Games are a different year sdo the Summer Games could be in May.

But NOLA still doesn't have the infrastructure. You would need to build a lot if venues, plus build a new Superdome or renovate the existing one just for a two-week event. You also need an Oky!pic Village which will create a glut of condos in the Warehouse District after the Games are over.

No.

It would be a complete sh*t show, and interfere with the Saints preseason games.

We would have to play our preseason home games in Shreveport (probably vs Dallas) and Jackson (probably vs Titans), which, hey, that's actually a good idea.

Summer Olympics in New Orleans though? Nah.
