The Olympics in Calgary were incredible. I was in college at the time (enjoyed the long breaK0 and am thankful for the experience. A big yes to Calgary going for it again.
As for the debate about Olympics making money/ breaking even etc. Unfortunately there is no universal agreed upon measure for assessing the profitability of an olympics. To me, it all comes down to how much money the taxpayer is having to kick in to fund the public portion of the bill. The long term effect is hard to quantify but I believe it is real.
