My post-mortem:
Extremely late breaking deal was fatal. No controlled narrative (In extremely long exploratory phase) because yes (which were qualified on having a deal) sat on the sidelines for a long time waiting. When it did come together at one minute to midnight. It was bungled. A lot of trust lost. The deal was good, I think it would have been a yes (or closer to yes) had the deal come together much earlier and more smoothly.
Not enough shiny balls. I maintained that an arena contingent on yes, would have swung things. BidCo insisted that this would have run afoul of the movement toward 80%+ recycled venues. But is was the paradox of the bid - not a lot of new stuff, but still a pretty high price tag.
Other unforced errors (like above video) and several others.

You pretty much hit the nail on the head with this.
