I didn’t see it posted yet… Have we really the resources to host such an event? Could it give us a little jumpstart? > **[Toronto, Buffalo discuss making joint bid for 2024 Olympic Games](https://sports.yahoo.com/news/olympics--toronto--buffalo-discussing-joint-bid-for-2024-olympics.html)** > > Toronto and Buffalo have talked about a plan to make the 2024 Games the first to officially be staged in more than one country. We’ve got tough competition however… > Another surprise bid for 2024 is expected to be Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. Several eastern African nations are in favor of the bid, which has the significant advantage of Africa having never hosted an Olympics. ---

We couldn’t host a pig roast in Buffalo. They’ve been trying to build the worlds shortest bridge for fifteen fuckin years. My grandkids would be lucky to see it done. ---

Interesting. So we’d basically be a nutclinger on Toronto since they have far more appeal? ---

Buffalo…the pimple on the ass of the olympics. Be like hosting a Formula 1 race at a go kart track. Brick huggers wouldn’t let us build anything anyway. ---

lol what facilities do they have to host an event like this? Kayaking through the erie canal? Maybe hold the triathalon on the niwanda park bike path with the swimming portion in the water? at least we have the Ralph for some events… maybe the first Niagara center and Dunn Tire park? Or were they planning on building all the facilities new like China did? Really, like someone said above… we’ve been trying to build a new peace bridge since forever ago and nothing has been started even. Imagine the drive to work during the olympics, LOL 😑 ---

> [@somedude](#): > > you don’t understand. instead of trying to tear down building with such massive significance you need to really step back and realize that they can be utilized in holding Olympic events such as stilt walking, and cleanest cart wheel maybe they can hold the diving events off of them. Oh oh… or maybe the skyway! Incorporating already existing landmarks in to the Olympics is very green. ---

I laughed. :lol: No competition in Buffalo is complete without drinking and eating contests. Fuck though, if Lake Placid could do it we could do it. Between the football stadium, baseball stadium, FN center, Pepsi center, chestnut ridge, etc we could come up with the facilities. Plus these things usually get spread out. Ain’t gonna happen, but it would be awesome. I’d set up a lemonade stand or something to pocket the cash of all the tourists. Open a hostile in my garage. Brothel in my basement. ---
