After Paris 2024's stupendous opening ceremony, how the hell will Brisbane 2032 compete? | Andrew Messenger
Briefly

For the first time in history, it was held outside a stadium... sixth kilometres of Brisbane footpath to hold a parade? If you took the traditional route along Coronation Drive... a festival of four wheels: highway on ramps, multi-lane freeways, limited access expressway.
Saturday's opening ceremony started at the Stade de France... heavy rail lines within walking distance. There are also buses and trams, bike lanes, pedestrian infrastructure. Our plan is to accommodate 40,000 people at a new facility 10km south of the CBD... There are no train stops.
