I wonder how many other previous racers will be at the start line. We know that Luke will be there.

Is this starting in 2 and a half hours, or in another day?
That's when Phil and CBS asked fans to be in Times Square; exactly when Phil releases the teams depends on what TPTB want to film with the fans present before they're sent on their way.

A lot of the production crew on the lower left part of the live cam (near the American flag pole). They seem to be discussing something.
You are the last team to arrive.
This is a Philmination leg, so I'm sorry to tell you that you have been Philiminated from the race.

The question is are they production getting a talk on how to film it or teams getting a pre-race talk? (probably the former but you never know)

I'm leaving to go to Times Square real soon... just a few more minutes of staring at the live cams, then I'm out!

My guess is that teams will not arrive until real late in the process.

The teams will probably get the pre-race talk (and possibly even the interviews) off site, then go to Times Square a few minutes before 3 AM and then a few minutes after 3, the usual explanation of the race, a twist (if there is one), and the famous "Good Luck, Travel Safe, GO!".

Just watching the camera and by the looks of it they have some cleaners cleaning the stairs.

Exactly.  Im sure they are at some hilton or marriott somewhere getting the talk.

I see those cleaners too. Tons of prep by the production too.

Alright, it's about time for me to head to Times Square, see you later everyone! :)

maybe a start line task is to run around times square and look above on the video boards for a clue on the 1st destination city.
