Majority of LA 2028 Games Venues Unveiled

The organizing committee of the Los Angeles 2028 Games announced the majority of the upcoming edition of the Olympic Games venues. 

Dodger Stadium and Alamitos Beach joined the list of venues for the 2028 Olympics.

The International Olympic Committee approved the plan last week, with about half of the events staying in Los Angeles, clustering in three major hubs.

Mayor Karen Bass said in a statement: “This plan brings the Games to all corners of our city like never before — from the Sepulveda Basin to the iconic shores of Venice Beach, our world-famous neighborhoods as well as our hidden gems will be on full display for all to experience and enjoy.” 

“And as we come together to prepare, we will help small businesses, create local jobs and implement lasting environmental and transportation improvements that will leave a legacy in our city for generations to come.”

Baseball and boxing preliminary rounds will take place at the Peacock Theater and finals at Crypto.com Arena. 

The downtown home of the Lakers and Kings will also host artistic gymnastics.

Rhythmic gymnastics was added to the Expo Park cluster at USC’s Galen Center, which will also host badminton. 

The third major LA Olympic hub in the Sepulveda Basin officially added 3x3 basketball and modern pentathlon to the recreation center that will host BMX and skateboarding.

Long Beach will be the second-busiest venue city with 11 disciplines, after the addition of beach volleyball at Alamitos Beach. 

The 242-acre facility was approved in a vote from the Los Angeles City Council in March to host equestrian.

Venice Beach took over triathlon hosting from Long Beach and will also be the starting points for the marathon and road cycling events.
