I remember in Vancouver before the Olympics how so many people were talking about making plans to leave the city when they were on, how much of a headache it will be, traffic will be a nightmare etc etc etc. the negativity was in overdrive. Now it is remembered so fondly by so many people and finished debt free and the legacy projects are very well used.

Do you also get excited about poor estimates and shaky cost justifications? Or are hundreds of millions or billions in cost overruns part of the price to pay for a few days of partying? Can you expand on the legacy projects that a 2026 games would leave behind beside a small arena that the NHL wouldn’t use and a field house?
