Here's How You Can Hang Out Inside the Team USA House at the Paris Olympics
For the very first time, the Team USA House will be open to the public this summer.
The 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris are quickly approaching. The upcoming Olympic Games will take place between Friday, July 26, 2024 and Sunday, August 11, 2024, and the Paralympic Games will begin just a few weeks later, scheduled for Wednesday, August 28, 2024 through Sunday, September 8, 2024.
This year, something exciting will be happening in Paris that has never happened at any Olympics prior: The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) has partnered with On Location, the official hospitality provider of the Paris Olympics, to offer single-day passes to Team USA House Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024.
That’s right. For the first time ever, Team USA House, which will be located in the historic Palais Brongniart in Paris’ second arrondissement, will be open to the public. On Location will be offering single-day tickets to the venue for $346 during the Olympic Games, and $159 during the Paralympic Games. You can purchase tickets for the single-day passes through the On Location website. This is also the first time ever that the Team USA House will be operating during the Paralympics.
So, beyond the excitement of being able to enter an Olympic venue previously closed off to the general population, what are the other benefits to purchasing tickets to Team USA House? For one, it's a great way to get involved in the games if you don't already have tickets to an Olympics sporting event.
But, that's just the tip of the iceberg. Not only will you get to hang out inside of a building built back under Napoleon's reign, you'll also get to rub elbows with Team USA athletes. Team USA House is also going to be a major center of activities. Team USA House will also feature:
- A main stage for medal celebrations, panels, and athlete appearances
- All-day dining options including American favorites and a rotating selection of international cuisines, plus two bars, and a dozen large monitors to watch Team USA
- An official Team USA Shop that will have exclusive Team USA and LA28 merchandise from Nike, Ralph Lauren, Oakley, New Era, Mitchell and Ness, and Fanatics, and will include custom Team USA and Paris 2024 pins,
- Exclusive programming including special guest athlete appearances, daily trivia games, and theme nights
"The first-ever Team USA House during the Paralympic Games reaffirms our continued commitment to elevate the Paralympics for athletes, fans and the entire Olympic and Paralympic community in the United States," said Katie Bynum Aznavorian, chief strategy & growth officer at the USOPC, in a statement. "Team USA House at both the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris will provide fans with an unprecedented opportunity to cheer on U.S. athletes, a front-row seat to athlete celebrations and a once-in-lifetime experience of celebrating Team USA in Paris."
The Team USA House news announcement coincides with a key milestone ahead of the Games: Wednesday marks 100 days until the opening ceremonies in Paris. The State Department's Bureau of Consular Affairs marked the occasion by reminding Americans planning to travel to the Olympics to check their passport expiration date as soon as possible so that they are able to make the trip. Even with the improved passport processing times, it takes a while!
