AS the greatest city on the face of God's green earth, New York, NY, U.S.A. should one day be able to host the Summer Olympics. New York has never hosted it before and I find that absolutely atrocious considering the massive importance and iconic status of this city. Yes, there are plenty of places in the city that could host events. Would you be here for this?
What are some of your ideas for a New York opening ceremony? After seeing the slightly disappointing London opening that paled in comparison to Beijing's, which shat on lives, I am excited for the future.
London's Opening Ceremony was AMAZING. They are in a recession and did all of that. The effects were amazing, the performances were amazing, and etc. Oh and where could they hold the Olympics in New York? There's no room. Oh and the reason New York has never held it is because they probably never submitted their name.

NYC actually bid for this year's olympics.
And of course there are facilities, if there arent for certain sports it will be built.

Rihanna has an explosive performance complete with 250,000 people synchronized with the music.

If Atlanta was able to host the 1996 Olympics, NYC could host an Olympic Ceremony
They built a stadium specifically for the Opening Ceremony, Closing Ceremony, and track and field events for the ATL Olympics and when it was over they turned the stadium into a baseball stadium...Yankee Stadium has a capacity of a little over 50,000 but they could use the MetLife Stadium (which is in New Jersey and is the home to the NY Giants and NY Jets) since it has a capacity of around 80,000
This is impossible. Mass transit is crowded 24/7 in NYC and the subway stations are disgusting, neglected, and reek of trash. NYC would have to completely renovate and redesign most, if not all, of their subway terminals and train cars to appear acceptable and welcoming. More lines would have to be added to our world's largest subway system to accommodate the mass influx of athletes and visitors. Roads would be impossible to navigate with the dramatically increased traffic. NYC itself would not be able to handle the sheer mass of visitors at once while still properly functioning for the 8+ million people living there and the 5+ million people that commute in and out of the city every day for work. Not only that, but our power grid is absolutely pathetic in the summer. The city imposes many heat-advisory regulations that force many academic and public institutions to conserve or limit power (my college had to last year for several hours each day for a whole week), so I cannot imagine what would happen to the city of lights if an obscene amount of power is demanded.
In all honesty, Brooklyn would be the best bet for all Olympic events and structures. We have a lot of wasted space or empty lots that could easily be transformed into world-class buildings. Brooklyn itself is known as the cultural and artistic center of the United States with many rapidly advancing neighborhoods, such as Williamsburg, Clinton Hill, Downtown, etc. Brooklyn also has few subway lines, which means that new Subway lines could be created that could adequately handle Brooklyn's existing population in conjunction with the visitors. Basically, Brooklyn isn't crowded by a long shot, yet it's trendy and nice enough to host the Olympics. Manhattan would still receive a large influx of visitors, but it would be manageable considering all of the events and structures would keep everyone in Brooklyn.
