They should just have the winter olympics on a rotation. Would bring down costs and make planning so much easier. Seems crazy to build venues that will eventually get rarely used.Not just hockey....
Could the United States host Milano Cortina Winter Olympic events next year?
With less than a year before the Games begin, the sliding center for bobsled, skeleton and luge has not yet received final approval from the International Olympic Committee to host competitions.sports.yahoo.com
Skelton, luge and bobsled may be looking for alternate venue. Perhaps US?
Even hosting the Olympics across the whole country, instead of limiting it to one city and metro/state area forcing that community to waste billions of dollars and upend its infrastructure would be better and far more economically feasible.
For both Summer and Winter, it is time to pick 4-5 host cities and rotate between them every 16-20 years.
The requirement of having everything in one city seems dated now that travel is a lot easier than when the original format was established. Seeing events completed outside the host city Paris in the recent Olympics didn't cause any issues and alleviated some of the stress from the local infrastructure needs. There was an article stating that tourism typically drops in cities hosting the Olympics as people avoid or plan around it. So you would be better off spreading it out to not deter tourism.
