Q&A

Maloney presses for city-specific follow-up analysis

New York City Council · Sep 30, 2026 · starts 2:11:54 · 1 min 37 sec

Maloney asks whether there will be any follow-up analysis or details. Lasry says the host committee will not do a city-specific analysis but can provide fan fest attendance numbers, including over one million at Rockefeller Center and 200,000 at the U.S. Tennis Center.

Virginia Maloney

So there won't be any follow-up analysis or details?

Member of the Public - Alex Lasry

We won't do a city-specific, because, again, as a regional committee, I think what we can see is the amount of people that we saw at the New York City Fan Festivals.

Member of the Public - Alex Lasry

So for us, what we saw, and I can get the...

Member of the Public - Alex Lasry

The amount of people that we had at the fan fests.

One second.

Member of the Public - Alex Lasry

I do know that at Rock Center specific, there were over a million people that went to the Fan Village at Rock Center.

Virginia Maloney

In my district.

Member of the Public - Alex Lasry

It was, you know, kind of, again, one of the crown jewels.

Member of the Public - Alex Lasry

I know we had 50,000 plus people at Central Park.

Member of the Public - Alex Lasry

I think over 200,000 people at the U.S.

Member of the Public - Alex Lasry

Tennis Center for Queens.

Member of the Public - Alex Lasry

You know, Brooklyn, I think, again, also over, I think, 200,000 people.

Member of the Public - Alex Lasry

Bronx and Staten Island, I believe for those were in the 20 plus thousand people.

Member of the Public - Alex Lasry

So New York City, again, for the fan festivals outside of the stadium, a real, real big impact.

Member of the Public - Alex Lasry

And it's, you know, again, I think always with this is.

Member of the Public - Alex Lasry

We tried to blend into what was going on with the city, right?

Member of the Public - Alex Lasry

And that's what makes New York unique.

Member of the Public - Alex Lasry

It's also hard for us to measure the impact of the over 100, you know, the 180 viewing licenses that we help secure.

Member of the Public - Alex Lasry

I think that was the most of any host city.

Member of the Public - Alex Lasry

Just, again, trying to make sure that the entire region for whoever wanted to put on a watch party was able to.
