Makes little difference.
This is a US Olympics.
Besides the marquee events, the crowds are going to be terrible. People kinda forget that most of the Olympics are prelims, and a lot of these prelims are going to be in sports that the USA is not very good in.
Geographical issues and general apathy will mean just about all of these will be held in front of minimal supporters, which is sad.
Clearly you don't know much about the Olympics. Even sports that are not of interest to most US citizens will get lots of spectators. People from around the world travel to the Olympics. The spectators aren't just people from the United States.
And even people from the United States go to lots of different sporting events that they normally wouldn't go to, just because it's the Olympics.
I was at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. I went to see lots of the smaller sports and they were all full of spectators.
So you are wrong when you wrote "just about all of these will be held in front of minimal supporters."
