. To develop this comprehensive plan for NYC to host the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games,

the New York Olympic Organizing Committee (NYOOC) looked into the deep well of New York’s

creativity. We addressed the needs of the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games and the Olympic

Movement through our comprehensive plan. Today’s New York City is home pulsing residents, sports

and recreation; restaurants, and art and culture. New York is home to five spectacular boroughs, all

uniting as one to make New York City something special.

How to capture the essence of NYC? It is not bricks and mortar. It is a city in constant ferment

and reinvention. It is forever new, forever exciting, and forever glamorous — always embracing

innovation, technology, creativity, and growth. More than 200 languages are spoken and every

community is present. People are born here and more people arrive, émigrés and immigrants, all imbued

New York City’s bid for

the 2028

Summer Olympics

Delivering the bid

with optimism and knowing that anything is possible. It is a city of dreams. The city has always been

characterized by its beautiful skyline, and thriving green parks. The NYC2028 bid builds on these unique

traits, creating a plan that continues and accelerates this evolution. New York City is the essence of

America as the land of opportunity. In New York City, every athlete will win.

1. Venue Plan

Our venue plan will create a spectacular experience for athletes, visitors, New Yorkers, and the

Olympic family. We utilized the many landmarks that New York has to offer, such as, Central Park, the

skyline, and the harbor. Clusters include the Olympic Park in Queens, Flushing Meadows Park in Queens,

Riverfront cluster in the Bronx and northern Manhattan, and the Central cluster in Manhattan. We

envision the athlete’s village on the shore of the East River, offering captivating views of Manhattan.

2. Proposed Olympic Park

From above, Sunnyside Rail Yard looks like a scar through the borough of Queens, but through the

Olympics this cite will be transformed in America’s Olympic Park. The Olympic Park offers stunning

views of midtown Manhattan. A proposed 85,000 seat stadium that will hold unforgettable opening and

closing ceremonies full of New York’s history, as well as athletics. A 17,500 seat arena will host

swimming, synchronized swimming, and diving. Across the way will be a temporary 5,000 seat water

polo stadium. A new convention center will be built to replace the Javits Center. This building will hold

Judo, Badminton, table tennis, squash, taekwondo, trampoline, rhythmic gymnastics, weightlifting,

fencing, and will be home to the IBC/MPC. Media housing will be built in the Olympic Park as well. One

of many live sites will be in the Olympic Park. The sites can hold up to 20,000 spectators, other sites

include Times Square, Central Park, Bryant Park, and Flushing Meadows Park.

In 2028, the 7 line will serve as an easy access commuting line to get from venue to venue. The 7 line

runs from the west side of Manhattan, to east Queens. A spectator can ride the number 7 line from our

Flushing Meadows Cluster, to the Olympic Park, then to Bryant Park where a live site will be located.

The number 7 line is the key to our plan in which we have developed, it runs through three out of our four

venue clusters.

3. Iconic Landmarks

Imagine marathon athletes running by the famous Rockefeller Center and cyclists speeding through

Central Park. These are powerful images that will place the 2028 Games in the minds of people all around

the world. New York presents a unique opportunity to marry sports and entertainment, to boost the

Olympic movement and connect with audiences of all ages. As recommended, we propose iconic NYC

locations in our venue plan; utilizing downtown Manhattan’s skyline as the backdrop for rowing and

white water rafting, Central Park for triathlon, Coney Island for beach volleyball, MSG for basketball and

boxing finals, and the Statue of Liberty as the backdrop for softball. Medal ceremonies for various sports

could be held at Times Square, Central Park, or Bryant Park. In so doing, we can extend the Olympic

celebrations across the city of New York.

4. The Olympic Village Along the East River

The Olympic Village provides an easy access central downtown location for the Athletes’ Village and

offer quick direct access to the venues via the freeway and ferries. High speed ferries will take athletes to

their venues quickly and safely. The opportunity to build new communities along the East River provides

a lasting legacy for the 2028 Games. The village will offer breathtaking views of midtown’s skyline.

Welcome Ceremonies and concerts will be specialized for athletes only.

5. Public Transit

For the majority of international visitors and athletes, the NYC2028 experience will start at either the

JFK, LaGuardia airport, or Newark airport. Today NYC’s Subway system operates 34 physical rail lines,

with ,465,034 5 average weekday commuters. The number 7 line is currently being extended to the west

side of Manhattan, this is the largest extension of a subway line in NYC in over 50 years . The subway

covers over 6 Miles in New York. 56 Complemented by Amtrak’s intercity services, rail travel across New

York City , the North East , and beyond wi ll be convenient and accessible . Finally, New York is home to

, 605 famous yellow and black taxi cabs, 13 , 990 of which are hyb 7 rid vehicles.

world. Every partic and visitor will feel a connection to our community.
