There's no way Calgary is setup to host another Olympics at the moment. The Dome is old, the ski-jumps are useless, the Oval is no-longer cutting edge, Olympic plaza is hilariously small potatoes, you need a whole new Olympic village. Most of the venues have the same dillema as McMahon....you would need to spend millions of dollars to renovate them up to par, to the point that it would probably make sense to just stat from scratch. Calgary is no doubt a great location for an Olympics, but there's no way that you could just host one here on the cheap.

One thing that you would definitely want to bring back though is those sweet-ass Sunice Jackets. Everyone needs to be decked out in neon green and hot pink.
