Olympics 2028 Sports Staffing

Different sports, different vibes, different needs. A track and field crowd is different from a basketball crowd, and both are different from a beach volleyball crowd. We get that, and we staff accordingly.

Track & Field at the Olympics

Track & Field

LA Memorial ColiseumLos Angeles, CA

Attendance: 77,000+ per session

This is the heart of the Olympics. 77,000 people in the Coliseum, the roar when Usain Bolt's successor crosses the finish line — there's nothing like it. Your brand ambassadors need to match that energy, and ours do. We staff people who genuinely love athletics, not just warm bodies in branded shirts.

Gymnastics

Pauley Pavilion, UCLALos Angeles, CA

Attendance: 13,000 per session

Gymnastics has the highest TV ratings of any Olympic sport, and the in-person audience is incredibly engaged. These fans know every athlete's name and every routine's difficulty score.

Volleyball

Long Beach Convention CenterLong Beach, CA

Attendance: 15,000 per session

Beach volleyball is the party sport of the Olympics. The Long Beach waterfront setting, the music between points, the crowd dancing — it's more festival than sporting event. We staff accordingly: outgoing, high-energy people who can work a sampling booth while a DJ is playing. Indoor volleyball is more intense but just as fun.

Tennis

UCLA Tennis CenterLos Angeles, CA

Attendance: 8,000 per session

Olympic tennis attracts a premium crowd — think corporate hospitality, luxury brands, and fans who follow the ATP/WTA tour year-round.

Rugby Sevens

Dignity Health Sports ParkCarson, CA

Attendance: 27,000 per session

If you've never been to a rugby sevens event, you're missing out.

It's one of the best environments for brand sampling and fan engagement because everyone is in a great mood.

Rowing is the early bird's sport — races start at dawn, and the fans who show up are committed.

Think coffee sampling at sunrise, wellness brand tie-ins, and waterfront hospitality tents.

Cycling

Attendance: Course-wide viewing

Road cycling turns the streets of LA into one long activation opportunity. The route goes through neighborhoods most tourists never see, and the crowds that line the streets are some of the most diverse at the Games. We deploy staff along the entire course — not just at the start and finish — because the best brand moments happen where fans least expect them.

Attendance: 5,000 per session

Archery is the sleeper hit of the Olympics. The crowd is smaller but incredibly focused, and the tension during elimination rounds is palpable.
