Philadelphia To Host 2024 Olympics?

Liz Spikol at CurbedPhilly wrote a great piece about a bleacher report article titled “2024 Olympics: Ranking Top American Cities That Should Consider Making Bids” in which the author, Nicholas Gross, suggests that Philadelphia would a great place to host the 2024 Olympic summer games.  As Nicholas points out the US has not hosted the Olympics since the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City and recent bids by New York and Chicago were unsuccessful.

Here’s what Bleacher Report has to say about why Philadelphia is great candidate:

The city of Philadelphia is home to some of the most passionate sports fans in the country and would be a fantastic candidate to host a Summer Olympics.  There are plenty of stadiums already built inside and around the city that could serve as quality venues for many different Olympic sports. Lincoln Financial Field, the Wells Fargo Center and Citizens Bank Park would give Philadelphia three quality venues ready for use. Philadelphia is the fifth largest city in the United States and has never hosted the Olympic Games. The city has made attempts over the last century to host the games, attempts which have failed each time. It was one of the American cities that wanted to host the 2016 Summer Olympics, which ultimately were awarded to Rio Di Janeiro of Brazil. With a large number of people, an already impressive sports infrastructure and the experience of having hosted Olympic trials before, Philadelphia would be wise to consider launching a bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics.

There’s even a Facebook page dedicated to Philadelphia 2024 already.  Let’s all get behind this and maybe we can make Philadelphia 2024 Summer Olympics a reality!
