It has occurred to me, in light of the current Olympics, that perhaps the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles could be a potential starting point for the next 1T if all goes well there.
This is especially inspired by the way people here in Salt Lake City (where I currently live but am not from) look back on the 2002 Olympics here with something approaching reverence. It's seen as the event that broke a decades-long stagnation and started a "golden age of Salt Lake" that is still ongoing. You still see it everywhere here - for example lots of highway overpasses in the city have the "SALT LAKE 2002" logo stamped into the concrete on the sides.
