I can clearly remember the Aussie Captain saying on the dock that down 3-1 "it looks like we're in the death seat now.", and then days later hearing on the radio, " DENNIS CONOR HAS FAILED TO COVER!" Unbelievable...., I grew up with the Cup being defended here in Newport every 4 years or so,and then it was gone...poof! We still had a helluva party anyways even though one of the stereo speakers fell out the 2nd floor window on Thames St and hit some chick on the head.
I don't know how the town would handle the hype and crowds that would come with it now. It might have to be a state/bay event to accomodate everything now.The waterfront is all hotels these days.
