Could NOLA ever host the Olympics?

I just saw where LA says it would want to host the olympics in 2024. The U.S.O.C sent letters out to 35 cities to gauge interest. NOLA wasn't on there but Tulsa and Orlando were. 
Heres the list

Jacksonville couldn't even host a Superbowl properly.

Love the Olympics but no chance in hell

Neither could New Orleans apparently with the lights going out.

NOLA can do anything. It's the greatest city in the world

New Orleans is way too small.

Has the Olympics recently been held in a place as hot/humid as New Orleans? Seems like that would make things difficult right off the bat before getting into infrastructure concerns.
I'd love to hear testimonies from athletes/trainers/fans across the world after visiting the FQ

I still need to see Argo.

What would we do with the facilities afterwards? Don't most cities lose money on the Olympics? As far as the room concern is I am in favor of bulldozing some projects.

Frick no, and this is like the 18th thread about this

In theory money could fix all of NOLA's Olympic problems except one. Hurricanes.

Yea, that's a really good point. Too unpredictable. On the other hand, could really make some of the games interesting.

Tad Gormley Olympic Stadium.
