The Athletic Venues

In London's successful bid for the 2012 Games, they plan to spend nearly $1 billion in new facilities and on upgrading existing facilities. Most of these facilities will have public uses after the Games.

To keep the cost of the Games reasonable, Chicago could make extensive use of its existing facilities such as Soldier Field (discussed in a separate posting on this blog) McCormick Place, Northwestern University, University of Illinois, Wrigley and US Cellular (assuming baseball gets reinstated by 2016) and others.

Where do you think Chicago could host the various events?
