The Olympic Games are very important to nations who participate in them. They are held every four years in a new location. Having the games at a new location every four years causes damage to the host city. The city has to deal with costs, infrastructure being built, and what they will do after the games are over with the stadiums. I have come up with some ideas to help make this more convenient for the Olympics Committee but, I need your help.
My first idea is if we host the games in one location for every two Olympics. This would help the city financially and economically. The city will not have to tear the buildings down after the games are over but instead refurbish the stadiums and housing every four years.
My second idea is it would be better if the Olympics had one location where it's not a home country for anyone and use that year after year. Then each country contributes for the maintenance and updates to the facilities. Even though it's hard to find a location that not one single country would have to pay, all countries would still contribute.
In the 2004 Greece Olympics, Greece nearly built two dozen facilities for the games. Neither 10 years later, the stadiums and facilities are either abandoned or rarely used. These stadiums get vandalized and are overgrown with vegetation as well. In another case the facilities such as housing and the Olympic Village get torn down or abandoned. Not just the stadiums but also the housing are most likely to get torn down. Most of the buildings that were built for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio either got torn down or abandoned by the city after the games were over with. The overall cost to the 2016 Rio Olympics was around 20 billion dollars. All of that money to just have the stadiums sit there, and not be used.
