Looks like Chicago is out of the running for the 2016 Olympics. I am bummed but not surprised. I had decided that I was going to go and watch if it wsa in Chicago. Has anyone attended a swim session at the Olympics (if you swam in one, that more than counts, but I am wondering about spectating!)?

I didn't see any swimming, but I did see ALL of track and field (every heat and final) at the 1976 Olympics. Also some volleyball and (ugh) field hockey. It cost us a total of about $300 for all those tickets for me and my girlfriend. We also camped out at a campground - nothing fancy, but it was cheap. I think we probaby spent $600 total for everything. Now, I'd have remortgage the house to do all that.
