    The official thread of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Boston

    https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/20...gRM/story.html

    Who will light the flame? I'm betting on Eruzione and/or Craig. Possibly Larry Bird (he did win gold in '92).


    Of course, Boston, Berlin and Tokyo will lose to some oil-soaked city in the Middle East where it is 120 in the shade.

      Be careful what you wish for... You just might get it


      It's amazing that there are that many cities bidding... They can't give away the bid for the 2022 Winter games....
      It's never too early to start the Pre-game festivities

      Go Cats!!! GO BLACKHAWKS!

      Cuck the Fubs... Let's Go WHITE SOX!!!

        Like anyone in Boston actually wants this. Mayor Walsh could sew up reelection for life right now by vowing to move the games to Belfast if Boston wins.

          Were they actually bidding? It would be cool, but probably wouldn't have the sex appeal for many people.

            There's a bid committee for it here. But AFAIK there's nothing from the USOC.

                The USOC was afraid that if they didn't acknowledge the awesome and majesty of Boston then certain people would whine about them on a message board.

                    Yeah....

                    Actually, Boston put together a good bid focusing on the colleges in the area that already have most of the facilities needed. Great day for BU and Harvard.

                        What facilities does BU have, or Harvard for that matter that would work for the Olympics? Dorms? I doubt many if any of the sports venues would be suitable.

                          Harvard Stadium, Agganis Arena. Housing at those schools, plus UMass-Boston (proposed Olympic Village)

                            Take it up with the USOC

                            BC's Conte Forum was included, but nothing at Northeastern either
