Rockefeller Center Will Transform Into The Ultimate Olympics Hub With Athlete Visits, Parisian Food, Photo-Ops, & More
Though the 2024 Summer Olympics, officially branded as Olympic Games Paris 2024, is set to take place in France from July 26th through August 11th (with some competitions starting as early as July 24th), us New Yorkers will have a chance to partake in festivities without hopping on a flight!
This July, Rockefeller Center will be totally transformed into the U.S. home for its coverage of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 so we don’t have to miss out on any of the action.
Throughout the Games, Rockefeller Center will welcome Team USA fans to explore everything from Parisian food and photo-ops to Paris-themed watch parties and more. Think about how a photo next to a replica Eiffel Tower or Olympic medal podium will zhuzh up your Instagram feed!
Plus, an enormous Olympic Rings display will be located on Center Plaza after previously stopping at numerous major events including The PLAYERS Championship, Kentucky Derby, and Indianapolis 500.
Lyndsay Signor, Senior Vice President, Consumer Engagement, NBC Sports, stated:
Transforming iconic Rockefeller Center into our U.S. home for the Paris Olympics gives Team USA fans a chance to interact with our coverage of the Games even though the Games are taking place thousands of miles away. The interactive events, photo-ops, and athlete visits will give Team USA fans an immersive Parisian experience and the ability to cheer on the world’s best athletes at one of the most recognizable locations in New York.
But arguably the best part: there will even be athlete visits!
Rockefeller Center will welcome home many Team USA Olympic athletes as they return to the U.S. after competing against the world’s best in Paris. Interactive exhibits will give fans the chance to meet select Team USA athletes at Top of the Rock, The Rink, and more.
And, after meeting your fav athletes, you can grab a drink at The Rink’s Parisan-themed patio and bar complete with viewing screens to cheer on Team USA athletes, numerous spots for photo-ops, and an area for fans to compete against each other in table games.
EB Kelly, Head of Rockefeller Center and Senior Managing Director at Tishman Speyer, stated:
As soon as the 2024 Olympic Games torch is lit, Rockefeller Center will become the best place in the country to cheer on our fellow Americans. We’re thrilled to partner with NBCUniversal on an immersive, interactive, and incredibly exciting experience for all who come to the Center during the Olympics, and look forward to celebrating USA victories in the heart of the city this summer.
The interactive activities and themes will run from the Opening Ceremony on Friday, July 26th, until the Closing Ceremony on Sunday, August 11th at The Rink.
