They're not really saving money though, because they spent ridiculous sums of money already on these venues. SoFi Stadium cost $5bn to build, by far the most expensive stadium ever built.
True, but these stadiums were not built specifically for the games, and compared to other host cities, they built brand new venues, which can cost billions and often become underused after the Games. LA’s approach is to repurpose its existing infrastructure, which should lower the overall cost of hosting the event, even if the original construction of some of these venues was expensive.
DID YOU EVEN WATCH THE VIDEO? THOSE STADIUMS WEREN'T BUILT FOR THE OLYMPICS! THEY ARE REPURPOSING EXISTING STADIUMS FOR THE OLYMPICS! ITS THE SMARTEST THING TO DO!
The Oakland coliseum is in OAKLAND, NOT LOS ANGELES. THE GAMES ARE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, NOT THE BAY AREA. LOS ANGELES HAS IT'S OWN BASEBALL STADIUMS.
They're revamping old Stadiums, but new things are being built AROUND the Stadiums! Like the George Lucas museum! 🛸 Lots of new transit!!
Very exciting stuff is happening in LA for the next several years. Thanks
Los Angeles is still spending $40 billion on these games. That's with existing sites.
40 billion is for city infrastructure projects, that’s not an Olympics only thing
Los Angeles 2028 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games!
FIRST !!!

Could have use that money to fix the streets or house the homeless !! Screw the Olympics I’m from La and don’t care !!! Waste of $$$
All the new transit and public spaces along with tourism revenue will help local residents! Last time it brought in 200 million more than it cost .
Wait what if they use the Oakland colosseum for baseball
