if we take out the Beijing Games (cause China can print money) both the Athens and the London games cost $15 Billion US.
Rio had an initial budget of $6 billion US but remember that had a World Cup too. Also they went way over budget so we'll see what the final tally is.
Toronto Pan Am Games were $2.5 billion CDN.
Could Calgary/Edmonton do maybe a $10 Billion US Games?
But for sure Toronto will get the first shot.
