*Rumor Alert*

I was informed by a (fairly) reliable source that Chicago may be in the running for the 2016 Olympics. I am not surprised, really. Chicago has most of the infrastructure in place already to handle such an event. Soldier Field has recently been renovated and could be used for Opening/Closing Ceremonies...along with track and field events. Theres the United Center and McCormick Place...and, of course, the lake...

Here's to Chicago '16.

Chicagoist actually had this written up a few days ago. Check their site for a much better write-up.
