Long Beach has picked out their venues that will host the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, another step as the city prepares to welcome the Games.
“We’re excited to reintroduce this venue to the games,” Jorge Godinez, assistant to the city manager, said about the Marine Stadium, “marking the first time it will be used to host Olympic events since 1932.” The guarantee also specifies that LA28 will reimburse all operational costs incurred in connection with the production of the events – such as costs of constructing overlays that may be used for things such as temporary structures, increased cleaning and waste management services, and enhanced security measures. Specific reimbursement terms will be detailed in subsequent agreements for each venue.
Long Beach officials will continue to collaborate with LA28 to finalize specific dates and further refine the areas to facilitate preparation for the Summer Olympics while minimizing impacts on surrounding areas, officials said.“As the chair of the Arts, Culture and Tourism Committee,” Councilmember Mary Zendejas said, “I have been approached by many stakeholders asking for information and timelines and so much more, but I know that we are also a little bit premature on that.
