Missing the chance to host the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow would be a “travesty”, and would put the future of high-performance sport in the country “under serious threat”, the Scottish government have been warned.
“And we have worked tirelessly to address all questions and concerns raised across the past few months. However, the window of opportunity is fast closing. Only four venues would be used – including Scotstoun Stadium and the swimming pool at Tollcross – each of which would be in an eight-mile corridor within the Glasgow City Council boundary.The cost of the event has been estimated as approximately £114m, a total that includes all Games costs, including security as a well as a contingency fund.
However, little over a year later, they declared that the projected cost had tripled and become "well and truly too much".
