The United States Olympic Committee has sent letters to the mayors of 35 American cities hoping to gauge their interest in hosting the 2024 games. Philadelphia was included in the USOC's wide net.
The U.S.O.C. says it has not decided whether to pursue a bid in 2024, but it has begun the decision-making process in unusual fashion. The selection pool of potential United States bid cities is usually limited to the very largest, for logistical reasons as well as the need to compete with major international cities to win the Games. The last two American bid cities, New York (2012) and Chicago (2016), each spent more than $10 million, only to be eliminated early in the voting by the International Olympic Committee.
