That actually isn't necessarily true. Having a maintenance/construction push on infrastructure, especially roads is fairly common before an event of that size. The stadium also has to have a minimum capacity for the city to be chosen. I know of several examples where cities built, or rebuilt stadiums in order to fulfill those criteria.Originally Posted by Loki
Now, I'm not sure many cities would say they specifically built a stadium or maintained roads just for a single event, but it is absolutely a consideration.
That being said, I agree with the thrust of your argument. There is a considerable difference in scale between the Olympics/World Cup and the Super Bowl.
