4. How many people go to Olympics?

Dec 2014

How many went in Russia last year?

How many to the winter Olympics in Colorado?

How many to the summer Olympics in Atlanta?

Tens of thousands more would come to Olympics in the USA than in Russia or Beijing

First of all, many more Americans would come, because they can afford to. Also Canadians, and most western European countries.

How many hotel rooms are in the greater Boston area? I'm just curious.

Of course there's thousands of college dorm rooms available in the summer for the athletes. But what about the spectators? Just curious how many hotel rooms there are between Portsmouth, NH to Worcester, MA to Providence, RI.
