The 2028 Los Angeles Olympics has announced significant changes to its venue plan, aiming to generate an estimated $156 million in combined savings and revenue increases. The alterations include hosting swimming at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, which will become the largest swimming venue in Olympic history with its 38,000 seats. Basketball will take place at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, while gymnastics will be held at Crypto.com Arena in downtown Los Angeles. Athletics will continue at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
The Los Angeles Olympics are scheduled to take place from July 14-30, 2028. The opening and closing ceremonies will remain as planned, with portions hosted at both the Coliseum and SoFi Stadium. This adjustment will impact the traditional schedule for athletics and swimming, with athletics moving to the first week and swimming to the second week of the games. Both sports' governing bodies have approved and endorsed this change.
