Venue Plan Overview Volume One

The venue plan is divided into two separate clusters, the Downtown Cluster and

Legacy Cluster. Each of these clusters will offer an array of venues and options

for the games to touch various parts of the city.

Our venue plan will capitalize on the beautiful landscape of the city, its historic

sites, and the city’s cultural centers. New Orleans will also host extra venues

such a sailing. This will

allow athlete’s to

experience the games in

different cities across the

nation.

The clusters embody the

idea of “Two Clusters,

One Village”. The

Athletes will be at the

center of the games and

clusters with the Athletes

village falling in between

the Downtown and Legacy Clusters.

The Downtown Cluster will be centered around venues in Louisiana State

University and Downtown Baton Rouge, and the BREC Equestrian Center. Many

temporary venues will be constructed while other venues have either already

been constructed or existing venues will be renovated. The Equestrian Park will

be expanded for the games and play host to all equestrian events.

The Legacy Cluster will be located in the South Medical District, and will be

home to two main parks. The first is the Pan-American Park, this park will

repurpose deserted land into a premier sporting center. The park will be home

to the Velodrome, Aquatic Center, and Pan-American Stadium. The second

park will be Westminster Park. Westminster Park is surrounded by the cities

premier shopping centers and will play host to three temporary venues.

New Orleans will utilize Lake Pontchartrain to host the sailing events during the

games and a high speed rail line will connect the city to Baton Rouge.

Other features of the venue

plan include the two main

airports, both New Orleans and

Baton Rouge International will

be the main air travel options.

The current Baton Rouge Airport

will be expanded as a result of

the games.

The cities venue plan will unite all athletes together, exploit the most beautiful

parts of the city, and introduce to world to a new city.
