We had a amazing time which was field trip. It was our first hanging out, so everybody was excited and the weather was nice. We realized that Chicago has great potential to hold Olympic 2016. Firstly, we went to the Buckingham fountain (it suppose to be the heart of Olympics in Chicago). We were passing by Grand Park, where archery will literally take center stage in Grant Park(it will be temporary stadium for 8000 people and total costs for this project will be $10.9 million). Then we went straight down to the Northenly island, where we saw a lot of Olympic venues such as Soldier Field, it will again take center stage in the footballing world during the 2016 Olympic Tournament. Its capacity will be 61,500 people and total cost will be $2.4 million. Next venue is Mccomick Place where will be the international Broadcast center and Media press center. Also, it will be home for martial arts, volleyball games, basketball, handball, gymnastics and etc.

Good stuff, but what about Monroe Harbour or the Olympic Village? But you get extra points for Lee's photos.
