A part of me wonders if the lack of the west side stadium really had as much to kill the bid as people seem to think. When the IOC delegates asked the NYC team during the final presentation how they will be handling the athletes coming from countries on the U.S. "terror watch" - or security screenings against their list of names, and the bid team failed to answer that, it made me think that the IOC never intended for NYC to get it anyway.
