The same could be true about nearly every structure built for Olympics. The idea is that if they are built, the country will use it to promote those sports from then on. Greece is perhaps the worst case and disproves my point because I understand that softball stadium they built is now a parking lot. However, I don't know how much effort the Greeks put into building softball after the games. But there is more to softball than Olympics, there are Pan Am games, Euro championships, Asian games, etc. that those fields can be used for, in addition to the "homefield" of that country's national team(s).
