Lately international sporting events have been trying to cut the cost, for example LA for 2024 Olympics. All major sporting events since Rio have been trying to cut the cost of sporting events since many cities have backed away from bidding.

I think we can use the 2015 Pan Am Games to our advantage to try and keep the cost down, this alone would probably help our bid. Plus bringing the event back to the birthplace would be an excellent chance for Hamilton to modernize the Commonwealth Games, look at dropping some sports like netball, lawn bowls and tenpin bowling. Perhaps introduce soccer as a sport.
