No Seattle (or Portland) :<

Nope. Looks like men will stay out east for the group stages & quarterfinals.

 

The women will play most of their matches in California.

here we go!

 

3 weeks Olympics are now a fact!

 

p.s. but, what about all those football matches on the same day of the Opening Ceremony?

will all be played in the morning local time? (almost all of them being in California, so they do not even benefit from the time zones difference)

Is this the first time there has ever been a day -3 and -4?

So, now we have three full weeks of competition. 

Praying they add more stuff to the Mon-Wed section, so it really feels like three full weeks

Interestingly, not all the medal matches are in LA...the bronze medal matches are in San Diego...so we effectively have 3 cities that will host medal events (if we condense all of the LA metro area into 1 'city').
