To further your comment, all 3 times LA got the Olympics it was because nobody else wanted them...because they were getting too expensive. And the first two times, LA showed that an Olympics could be done profitably, by reusing existing facilities. For the 2028 Olympics, LA is following in the footsteps of the 1984 Olympics and reusing undergraduate housing and sports venues. LA has 5 soccer/track and field stadiums (Rose Bowl, Coliseum, Sofi, Dignity Health, and Banc of California), 5 Arenas (Forum, Staples, Galen Center, Pauley Pavilion, and the forthcoming Intuit Dome), 4 baseball stadiums (Dodgers, Angels, USC, and UCLA), 4 Olympic-size pools (Expo Park, USC, UCLA, and Loyola Marymount)...and these are just the major venues with Olympics-level seating. Also, the LA, Anaheim, and Long Beach convention centers are available for indoor early-round events that somehow can't fit into the aforementioned venues. The only venue being purpose-built just for the Games is the media center, which will be constructed by NBC at its own expense.
