Anaheim is pippin’ right now by the way. That’s where the sports and arts scene is in LA right now. They been hosting more and more international sports. The convention center there is very nice. They also have a 10,000-15,000 seat indoor arena there too. We clearly do need the additional multi-sports games, but I want them . I remember when Rams had to settle in Anaheim because they were drawing dead in LA and it still didn't work. There's just too much in-house competition in LA for anything like PanAm or Youth Games to have a shot of being a sell-out success IMO. I'm shocked The Forum is still operational, it's been 20 years since Lakers left? The colleges are all doing mighty fine inside the NCAA system, they don't really need these test events IMO.

Yeah The Forum still hosts concerts rather regularly. There’s also big Venues of that caliber in Ontario, Anaheim, Irvine, Long Beach (The Pyramid ), and UCLA. We also have the Stub Hub Center where the Galaxy play, and the new stadium where LAFC play. There’s also the USC Arena that will host badminton in 2028. “Sport has the power to change the world.

They could alternate opening & closing ceremonies between the two stadiums but the same one on both of them? Kroenke's ego must be frickin' hilarious (there's a vague chance he won't live that far though ). thiago_simoes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no clue what the plans are, as it is still just under 9 years away (!), but I trust the LA2028 OC. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
