host the 1984 Games

initially thought New York and then Chicago, and finally opted
for Los Angeles. The city of Los Angeles who had submitted thebid to
host the Games in 1980 and in 1978 renewed its bid for 1984 along
with the American committee, made a plan that madethe
Olympics make money. It was the first city to make a profit in the
Olympics and be a model for subsequent towns. The way
toMontreal would be against. Los Angeles used its halls and stadiums
that already existed, and used company funds to organize the
Olympics as well as to build only two new centers,one for cyclists and
a new Olympic pool. The city made ​a profit of200 million dollars ($
