Description: Every Olympics has a host city. The ancient Olympic games were held every 4 years in Greece, but the modern Olympic Games have been over 20 different host cities. The Games use stadiums where spectators can watch the events. The Olympic Games help tourism in the host cities. The host cities have to house and feed the athletes and it can cost them around 10 billion U.S. dollars.
