Dallas is expected to be a big contender for the spot because the IOC is looking for a venue that is not like every other big city the games are usually hosted in (i.e. Chicago, London, LA, New York, Paris, Tokyo etc.). The IOC has also made it clear that money will be an issue and the DFW metroplex already has 80% of the structures needed to host the games, more than any of the other international or US bids.
Also Atlanta, Their considering bringing it back to Atlanta for the 125th anniversary, you remember they hosted the 100th...LOVE THAT CITY ATLANTA
