If I remember correctly, the summer Olympics in Montreal in 1976 were also a money pit. Some events were not well-attended, many of the venues were unfinished (they were later completed after the games). The Olympic Stadium was supposed to have some kind of retractable cover supported by a large tower, but that was left off and finished well after the games.
Last I heard they're STILL paying for the Montreal games.
