Sydney was unironically pretty good.
Last Olympics to break even, too!
Last time my country achieved something like that. And probably the last actually good Olympics.
Atlanta turned the main stadium into Tuner Field and it was home to the Braves for 19 years. It wasn't a bad park, I appreciate how we manage to repurpose the stadium especially after seeing Russia and Brazil's treatment of their stadiums after the games.
And after the Braves left Atlanta to become the Cobb County Braves, Georgia State University's lousy Panthers play there.

Bonus fact: the tennis court that was used during the Olympics in Atlanta (1996) was or will be demolished. And in its place will be a Costco. I'm okay with that.
