More complicated, but you'd also have 2 provincial gov'ts contributing, and there would be an even stronger argument for more federal funding since it wouldn't be just 1 jurisdiction reaping the benefits.

I think that'd be a great idea. The oval is still a great facility for long track speed skating, and Vancouver's oval is now a convention centre. The bobsleigh here isn't feasible for olympics anymore, but Whistler sliding centre would still work fine. So there would be savings on putting events where facilities still exist.
Plus you have two NHL arenas which should be enough for Hockey/Figure Skating to all have large venues. Maybe even build a new rink here and don't demolish the 'Dome until after the games so we have 2 NHL size arenas here for the games.
