(BOSTON) JAN 9 – MIXED REACTION FROM PEOPLE LIVING IN THE BOSTON AREA TO THE PROSPECT OF HOSTING THE 2024 SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES. THE U-S-O-C THURSDAY PUTTING BOSTON FORWARD OVER SAN FRANCISCO, LOS ANGELES AND WASHINGTON.
FOX NEWS RADIO’S BILL MARCUS HAS MORE…..
FOR MANY SECURITY IN THE WAKE OF THE MARATHON BOMBING ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO IS ALSO AN ISSUE. REPORTS SAY ALL AREA COLLEGE VENUES AND THE T-D GARDEN WOULD BE USED FOR COMPETITION…. AND…..THAT A REMOVABLE STADIUM FOR TRACK, FIELD AND THE OPENING AND CLOSING CEREMONIES WOULD BE BUILT SOUTH OF THE CITY. ORGANIZERS REPORTEDLY PREDICTING THE $4.5 BILLION DOLLAR COST OF THE GAMES WOULD BE PAID FOR WITH BROADCAST FEES, SPONSORSHIPS AND TICKET SALES.
