Where do you think the Opening Ceremony would be?

 

I would love to have this event taking place in my city. As you said, so easy to go everywhere. But why do you think they would have much more work to do? The venus are basically done. The problem could be the distances from a village to the venues, but the public transportation usually works fine in these kind of events.

I think some of the venues are old or need a little refurbishment. Maybe not a huge factor for the Pan Am Games?

 

About the OC, maybe in one of the bigger stadiums? But I really would love if they did something different.

Just like @intoronto predicted a few days ago, São Paulo is interested in hosting the 2027 Pan American Games in case Barranquilla can't. Apparently, the colombian city is late in paying $8mi for the hosting rights

Honestly I hope they reallocate it. Apparently there are a lot of venue issues with Bareanquilla, for ex. Canoeing will need to be in Cali

Cali hosted a couple of events during the 2018 CAC Games. A duel Cali/Barranquilla bid might not be the worst thing in the world (other than the distance between the two)

Didn't Cali hosted the Junior Pan American Games? Barely watched anything from that, but in my mind I thought they were better equipped compared to Barranquilla. Don't know if they're interested, though.

Yea but some of the venues were really bare bones, and coincidentally Baranquilla paid to host the baseball/softball teams (otherwise the sports were not going to be held). Now its turned around

Barranquilla confirmed as the 2027 Pan American Games host.

Should the Commonwealth Games Federation and find a host for 2026,  will be eligible to send delegations for the first time.

Game Bids reporting a 2027 Commonwealth Games might be on the table.
