Possible 2022 Olympic Winter Games Bid Timeline
At this stage of the preparation process, a series of venue choices are under consideration. The ever-changing growth of our region regularly offers new opportunities for possible venues. For instance, the new downtown Reno Triple-A baseball stadium could be a prime location for the medal ceremonies and cultural experiences, including concerts. While a plan of proposed venues is a continuous process, one of the Reno-Tahoe areas greatest strengths is the relative proximity of Games venues in terms of:
- By Spring 2012 – USOC calls for American Regions statements of interest.
