Aomi Urban Sports Park in Tokyo’s Koto Ward, where large numbers are expected during the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games this summer (Kazuyoshi Sako)
Up to 68,000 spectators a day would crowd Tokyo’s Olympic-themed waterfront area if their numbers are limited to 5,000 for each competition venue during the Summer Games, an Asahi Shimbun study showed.
The estimate does not include visitors without tickets who may visit the area, which has been designed to provide an “Olympic experience” for all people.
Seven competition venues are located within a 1.5-kilometer radius in the waterfront area of Koto Ward.
Olympic organizers and government officials have yet to decide on whether the Summer Games will be staged with spectators during the continuing novel coronavirus pandemic. Overseas spectators have already been barred from attending.
