Houston will never get it.
- shitty public transit
- too hot for the athletes from moderate climates/ unless they ran the summer Olympics in March.
- IOC almost demands outdoor stadiums(Houston made a bid on it about 8 years ago and that is what Houston reps were told.)
- about 10 other American cities that are more deserving.
But Houston's local diverse populations is the only thing going for it.

Biggest reason why Chicago's bid failed is because the Olympics have never been held in South America.
They were due

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.
