  A study conducted by eleven graduate students from the University of Pennsylvania showed that Philadelphia should consider bidding for the 2024 Olympics. The study said that among the city's biggest challenges would be convincing the voters who select the host city that Philadelphia is a "world-class city," something that "will require strategic changes in the city’s landscape in conjunction with a persuasive marketing strategy." The study mentions that when arriving in the city from Philadelphia International Airport, it is difficult to find a route that does not include tours of abandoned oil tanks, derelict structures and thousands of tons of waste. Another advantage that Philadelphia's has would be it's location, which is nearby to many densely populated cities.
