Olympic swimming events at SoFi Stadium? Yes, say 2028 Olympic organizers, who plan to hold events at venues that will provide more seats, and raise more money.
The 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles are getting an extreme makeover, with organizers proposing changes that would shift basketball into the brand-new Intuit Dome, put a temporary swimming pool in the middle of SoFi Stadium and move softball games 1,300 miles east to Oklahoma City.
If they fall short, taxpayers will pay the difference because city and state legislators have agreed to serve as a financial backstop. LA28's proposed venue changes could help balance the budget. Getting to the estimated $156-million benefit requires some per-venue calculations. At SoFi, for instance, the estimated $106 million in increased ticket sales and other revenues would be partially offset by $58 million in higher rent and other costs.
