COLORADO SPRINGS — The anticipation surrounding the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris has significantly increased visitor engagement at the United States Olympic and Paralympic Museum located in Colorado Springs. Mr. Tommy Schield, the Chief Marketing Officer of the museum, remarked, “During the games, we observe a substantial rise in attendance.”

In a recent analysis comparing visitor statistics from the day of the Olympic Games’ opening ceremony to the closing ceremony against the same timeframe from the previous year, the museum reported a remarkable nearly 80% increase in attendance solely during the Olympic Games. Mr. Schield expressed enthusiasm regarding this development, stating, “It is truly exhilarating.”

While final attendance figures for the Paralympic Games are still pending, early indications suggest that visitor turnout will also remain robust. “Even with the commencement of the school year and a decline in travel activity, we continue to witness a steady influx of guests visiting the museum,” Mr. Schield stated.

The ongoing interest from visitors is expected to persist as the museum enhances its collections with competition statistics, memorabilia, and compelling narratives from the Games. In conclusion, the convergence of the Olympic spirit and the museum’s efforts to celebrate athletic achievement is driving increased public engagement, promising a bright future for visitor experiences at this esteemed institution.
