The Team USA House for the Paris 2024 Olympics opened its doors on Wednesday (July 24) for a sneak preview of where fans can mingle with athletes and have a hotdog or an Americano during the Games.

Housed in Palais Brongniart, Paris’s former stock exchange building commissioned by Napoleon in the early 19th century, this is the biggest Team USA House ever and will officially open to the public on Friday (July 26).

Athletes from the Paris 2024 USA Olympic and Paralympic team, as well as celebrities, are expected to make appearances at the venue. This is the first time Team USA House is open to the general public. A day ticket costs 325 euros ($352).

The first floor features an outdoor cafe and a large dining hall equipped with dozens of screens, where guests can follow the Olympic competitions and enjoy interactive activities.

Former Olympians such as swimming champions Summer Sanders and Missy Franklin, gymnast Nastia Liukin, and figure-skater Tara Lipinski are scheduled to host events.

A shop sells clothing items from sponsors like Ralph Lauren and Nike.

The second floor includes a mini-museum, cozy VIP rooms with air-conditioning and large screens, and a sports bar.

The venue will also host a viewing of the Games' opening ceremony on Friday.

The Team USA athletes will be sleeping at the Olympic Village outside Paris.
