The Boston Globe is reporting that the United States Olympic Committee announced today that it has chosen Boston to be its entry in a global competition to host the 2024 Olympic Games. Boston was chosen over San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and the city of Los Angeles.
Local Olympic organizers say Boston 2024’s operating budget of about $4.5 billion would be financed mainly through broadcast fees, corporate sponsorships, and ticket sales. They have pledged not to use public money beyond what is already planned to be spent on infrastructure.
