GGG is spot on here, there is very little difference between the arena and the Olympics when it comes to the general public benefit. The benefits of both are generally vastly overstated, almost always by the entities that benefit most from them. If anything I'm gonna slightly favor the benefits of the arena (even if I think both are bad ideas) for one crucial reason: The Olympic security cost. The security cost now is so high that it really makes hosting at best a minor money loser, but more than likely there will be at least a billion gone from the governments coffers that will never come back. Just to host the incredibly corrupt IOC. Purge the IOC and maybe there can be some worth there.
