A group in Boston is exploring a potential bid for the 2024 Olympics, and its got some star power.
An elite group of city leaders is quietly exploring the prospect, including bringing in 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics Organizing Committee president Mitt Romney as a key adviser, according to the Boston Globe.
Boston would be a fantastic place for the Summer Games, Romney told the newspaper. It would be a marvelous community-building experience for Boston, and I think the people who would enjoy the games with or without tickets would say it was one of the best experiences of their life.
Group leader John F. Fish, chairman of Suffolk Construction, hosted a U.S. Olympic Committee delegation over two days in October, according to the newspaper.

Then, if you're lucky enough to be selected, you get the privilege of building large venues, which will struggle to find uses for decades following the 2 weeks of games.
