Perhaps you live in an Olympic Games location or knew someone on an Olympic team and had to attend the games? Maybe you just make the Olympics into a vacation? If you've ever been, though, tell us about it. Is it a lot different than watching from home?

In 1992 I watched the summergames from a hotel room- and said I was going to the 96' games and I never did I hear it is darn near IMPOSSIBLE to get tickets.  Alot of corprate sponsers and families who fill the arenas. 

But it seems the Olympics has lost some of its flair- or is it just because I am older I don't look at it the same way?   

I think its cause we are old er its jsut not he same... cause i still hear ppl talking about it.
