Anyways, looks like Calgary bowed out, so it doesn't really matter.
I just know that if I'm CSEC, I'm doing my damnedest to get World Cup and Olympic funding to build new facilities that my properties can assume following the festivities for the next generation or so.

That I'd agree with.
Calgary did exactly that with the 1988 Olympics and its served our City well, the World Cup...not the same thing. Most World Cup infrastructure seems like its purpose-built and goes to waste.
