Concrete still needs to be poured again at the speedskating oval; no one's tested the ski jumps with snow, and the cross-country skiing lodge has yet to be completed.
But that's not stopping lawmakers from discussing what will happen to Olympic venues after the 2002 Salt Lake Winter Games are over.
"Hopefully, we will have a plan in place in advance so that when we turn over these facilities we don't say, 'Geez, now what do we do?' " said Fraser Bullock, chief financial officer for the Salt Lake Organizing Committee.
Bullock told an interim sports advisory committee Thursday that SLOC had bought, rather than leased, many assets such as bleachers, scoreboards and a day lodge to help venues make a quick transition to daily operation.
Right now, they are geared up for just a few days in the international spotlight.
Bullock said that if, at the end of the Games, SLOC has paid off all its obligations and has funds left over, more equipment might be turned over to venues.
"We'd like to leave fully operational facilities," Bullock said.
The Utah Athletic Foundation will take over management of the Utah Sports Park and the Utah Olympic Oval after the Games.
Foundation chairman Randy Dryer said a $40 million legacy fund, approved by the Legislature in the early 1990s to run the venues for 20 years, wasn't enough.
Also, the cross-country skiing venue at Soldier Hollow isn't covered by the amount, because it hadn't been approved when the bill passed.
Dryer said the foundation will try to raise money by finding sponsorships, developing youth programs and bidding for international races. He hopes to attract foreign athletes by teaming up with Lake Placid and Calgary, Canada, to offer a three-stop circuit for luge, bobsled and ski jump competitions.
"It is fairly clear $40 million will not only be insufficient to support the venues in perpetuity but also for 20 years," Dryer said. "Every covered speedskating oval, every bobsled track requires subsidies. They are not self-supporting."
Dryer said he's hopeful Utah's venues will be maintained properly from the start so they don't get run down and incur additional costs.
He noted the bobsled and luge track in Lake Placid, site of the 1980 Winter Games, fell into disrepair and lost its certification. The state then had to repair the damage.
While all of the Utah venues aren't complete yet, SLOC says it is on schedule, if not ahead of plans.
Robert Garff, chairman of the SLOC board of trustees and former speaker of the Utah House, said he returned from the Sydney Olympics feeling "more confident than ever" that SLOC had a proper plan in place.
When the Games end, SLOC will not only have to let go of its venues, but also its staff.
Bullock said the organization had evaluated how long each employee should stay on after Feb. 28, 2002, to ensure an orderly dissolution without overspending.
"We're trying to avoid the problems of Atlanta where everybody was out the door the day after the Olympics," Bullock said. "We have to make sure we keep some of the key people."
SLOC expects 200 people will be on the payroll two months after the Games. When it closes shop in 2005, just two or three individuals will be working, including a chief dissolution officer.
Employees are getting financial incentives to ensure they don't leave before their contracts are up.
SLOC plans to present a detailed dissolution plan to its board for approval in a few months.
