Doesn't the Olympic committee provide funding for certain upgrades for infrastructure and facilities?

The LA28 organizing committee handles all the expenses.

It's not known how much if any funding they would provide to OKC, but it's likely some money would come our way. But certainly, OKC will be paying a chunk as well.

Using public funds for publicly-owned or non-profit controlled projects that will last well beyond a single event and profit the city seems like a good investment, and I highly doubt canoe slalom courses are as expensive as a new stadium. Not really remotely comparable.

Definitely not remotely comparable when the comparison is inconvenient lol
