Are you worried at all that the cheapness of the games will reflect poorly on the host city?
some people seem to almost think that a bit of paint and sprucing up of the 1988 infrastructure will go a long way.
If you're going to host the games, don't do it halfway. present your best image to the world or don't do it at all.
Come on Calgary. you're dressing up for a hot date with the world. don't show up in sweatpants and a stained undershirt.
spend the money. build fancy new stuff.

I'm imagining you as the guy making 55k a year with a 600k mortgage and a 50k car loan because he has to try to keep up his image.
If a venue from 1988 will still work, why bother building a new one? Tearing down a perfectly functional arena to build a shinier one with more ####ters would be ridiculously stupid.
