The Paris 2024 Olympics are here, and being the most important sports event in the world, alongside the FIFA men’s world cup, the sports craze is unstoppable. Our county will be the host of the Los Angeles Olympics 2028, and the expectations of how that will turn out keep growing.
The venues for other premier events were announced in June, featuring selections such as The Coliseum for track and field and the former Staples Center, now the Crypto.com Arena, for gymnastics. Additionally, there was a decision to move swimming to SoFi Stadium and some controversy regarding the choice to host softball nearly 1,400 miles east in Oklahoma City.
Back then, there were some doubts on the edition not being “L.A. enough”, as most of the sports events were taking place in cities nearby. But it seems there’s no real reason to be afraid, as a new list was released, and it shows a significant increase in the venues chosen in our city. Check out the brand-new renders to see how the venues will look like in 2028.
The official information shows that eight events are scheduled for downtown L.A., with five sports to be held at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Long Beach will host seven sports, while Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson will feature four events.
