===Budget===
In February 1999, in response to the [[2002 Winter Olympic bid scandal|bid scandal]] and a financial shortfall for the Games, [[Mitt Romney]], then CEO of the private equity firm [[Bain Capital]] (and future [[2012 United States presidential election|U.S. presidential candidate]], [[U.S. Senator]], and [[Governor of Massachusetts]]), was [[Mitt Romney#2002 Winter Olympics|hired]] as the new president and CEO of the Salt Lake Organizing Committee.<ref name=":0" /> Romney, Kem C.

Indirect capital costs are ''not'' included, such as for road, rail, or airport infrastructure, or for hotel upgrades or other business investment incurred in preparation for the Games but not directly related to staging the Games. The cost and cost overrun for Salt Lake City 2002 compares with costs of US$2.5&nbsp;billion and a cost overrun of 13% for Vancouver 2010, and costs of US$51&nbsp;billion<ref name="The Guardian" /> and a cost overrun of 289% for Sochi 2014, the latter being the most costly Olympics to date. The average cost for Winter Games since 1960 is US$3.1&nbsp;billion, average cost overrun is 142%.

The 2002 Winter Games were the first Olympic Games to take place since the [[September 11 attacks]], which meant a higher level of security than ever before provided for the Games. As a result, the [[Office of Homeland Security]] (OHS) designated the Olympics a [[National Special Security Event]] (NSSE). Aerial surveillance and radar control was provided by the [[U.S. Marine Corps|U.S. Marines]] of Marine Air Control Squadron 2, Detachment C, from [[Cherry Point, North Carolina]]. The [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and NSA arranged with [[Qwest|Qwest Communications]] to use intercept equipment for a period of less than six months around the time of the 2002 Winter Olympics.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424127887324108204579022874091732470|title=New Details Show Broader NSA Surveillance Reach: Programs Cover 75% of Nation's Traffic, Can Snare Emails|author=Siobhan Gorman|author2=Jennifer Valentino-Devries|date=August 20, 2013|newspaper=Wall Street Journal|access-date=August 21, 2013|archive-date=December 27, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141227020803/http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424127887324108204579022874091732470|url-status=live}}.

When he spoke during the opening ceremonies, [[Jacques Rogge]], presiding over his first Olympics as the IOC president, told the athletes of the United States:<ref>{{cite web |url=https://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=91925 |title=Winter Olympics Open Amid Tight Security |website=ABC News |access-date=January 31, 2012 |date=February 8, 2002 |archive-date=September 4, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150904035708/http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=91925 |url-status=live }}</ref>

===Venues===
{{Main|Venues of the 2002 Winter Olympics}}Work on venues for the 2002 Winter Olympics began as early as 1989, following the passing of a state referendum that authorized the use of taxpayer money to publicly fund the construction of new facilities for a Winter Olympics bid in 1998 or 2002.
