The reported direct costs to plan and stage the Games discussed in this report ranged from $363 million to more than $2.4 billion. Although the total dollar amount of federal funding and support has increased, the total federal share of the reported total direct costs to plan and stage the games has decreased. Since 1980, the amount of funding and support provided by governments at the local and state levels has increased. Generally, federal funding and support for the total direct costs of each of these Olympic Games was either specifically designated by Congress or approved by the federal agencies. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-02-140/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-02-140.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-02-140/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-02-140.pdf GAO-02-140 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-02-140 Other Written Product GAO-02-140; Olympic Games: Costs to Plan and Stage the Games in the United States; Comparative analysis Cost analysis Federal funds 1980 Winter Olympic Games 1984 Summer Olympic Games 1996 Summer Olympic Games 2002 Winter Olympic Games 2002 Winter Paralympic Games Salt Lake City (UT)
