Los Angeles 2028 Venue Plan

Please note that the Los Angeles 2024 venue plan that was initially proposed for the 2024 bid has remained the same for the organization of the 2028 Olympics. While the bid book references 2024, no change has been made to the venue plan. In the event that a change is made, then that should be reflected on wikipedia pages for respective LA 2028 venues. As of now, things are staying the same. The only change is the year. If you have any thoughts or concerns, then please don't hesitate to discuss it here rather than removing good faith sourced edits which have been put in. --WRCosA (talk) 22:23, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

My bad, I thought I was reverting the removal of content, not the other way around. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 23:10, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Don't worry about it. All of this content is new and things are currently developing. Lets keep an eye on what is coming from the bid committee (aka future organizing committee) and use whatever information they provide. As of now, things seem to be unchanged when it comes to venues. --WRCosA (talk) 01:14, 4 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I see the Perris Lake Rowing events have been updated and moved to Long Beach Marina. Has this been confirmed? Redspork02 (talk) 17:57, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, World Rowing appears to have approved the move from Perris Lake to Long Beach Marine Stadium in September 2022. They also explain it in a Q&A on their website. Minorstab (talk) 02:09, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Football (soccer) Venues

Many football (aka Soccer is the US) venues are mentioned. Typically during the Olympics, six venues are used for football. Do we know yet which six venues will be used or will it be more than six? Just wondering what has been decided or are they going to wait to make a determination on that. --WRCosA (talk) 13:40, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oh and I'm also wondering if we should refer to it as "soccer" or "football". I know this is the US, but FIFA does not use the term "soccer" and during the Olympics FIFA nor the IOC never refer to it as soccer. Curious about this issue too. --WRCosA (talk) 13:42, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest the removal of the soccer venue mentioned. The bid has not determined any soccer venues as of 08/2017. All speculation. --158.61.0.239 (talk) 14:23, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Its tough to figure out which venues would be used. As I stated above, typically Olympic soccer involves the use of six venues. I think at least we know that there venues in LA (Rose Bowl, Banc of California Stadium and the LA entertainment center) will be used as soccer venues. Then the question becomes which three venues outside of LA will be used? I would guess Levi's Stadium (San Francisco), CenturyLink Field (Seattle) and Las Vegas Stadium would be used, but thats an educated guess based upon logistical logic. However, I don't think we should be speculating on the main page for the 2028 games. Sooner or later we will find out. --WRCosA (talk) 22:10, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I did find information from the bid book on potential football venues. It is sourced, so I have included it in the article. It is worth noting that the potential MLS venue in San Diego may never be built as MLS expansion status is unclear at the moment. --WRCosA (talk) 20:41, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Host city

Why you not throw everything into the host city area, California, Southern California, Greater Los Angeles? While just tell people "You are wrong", a hilarious comments. That's one simple, host city which already wikilink and people can be read that. That's also consistency across multi sports event article. --Aleenf1 03:10, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Somebody can no need discuss and throw everything to it, yet she can said you are wrong, you are the one who need consensus, and keep something inconsistency across Olympics article, barbarian indeed. --Aleenf1 03:29, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
California is correct to be placed in the infobox as Los Angeles is in California. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 03:37, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Also another one person, who always think he is right also, so i will put Greater Los Angeles. --Aleenf1 03:41, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Pot meet kettle. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 03:44, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, whatever he can said about, he is right... Aleenf1 03:45, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
We will let others discuss. I am open to removing the sub political entity if there is a consensus to do so. There isn't atm. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 03:54, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You fear to comment because you and Drmargi are the same type, while biting others and keep yourself clean of it. --Aleenf1 04:08, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The IOC assigns a host city for the Olympic Games. It doesn't technically assign a host country, and certainly not a host state within a country. It would be perfectly adequate for our Infobox to simply say Los Angeles. For those rare individuals who don't happen to know where Los Angeles is, the Wikilink will tell them. HiLo48 (talk) 06:00, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Since LA already wikilinked. based on what you said, it should already been adequate. It also works across consistency of all Olympic Games infobox which is host city and country. --Aleenf1 07:41, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This is ridiculous. In the U.S. we include the name of a state with its city, particularly when United States is also used. The same is true of Canada and I believe Australia, where provincial names are used. Consequently there would never be a scenario where we use Los Angeles, United States. It's wrong, full stop. Aleenf1 seems to want to come up with an arbitrary rule for identifying city names in Olympic articles all their own, refuses to discuss and insists on edit warring. There is no logic in their rationale for doing so. City names should be listed in Olympic articles the same way they are anywhere else in WP. There's no good reason to do otherwise. --Dr.Margi 07:52, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Australia isn't as obsessed with states as much as the US. The Infoboxes of the two articles on Olympics that have been held in Australia (Melbourne and Sydney) just show the Wikilinked city name, and "Australia", not Wikilinked. HiLo48 (talk) 08:08, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
What is the point to Wikilink the city if keep repeating the same geopolitical way? And when you said "consequently there would never be a scenario", what is consequently scenario will happen? And what is wrong for whole scenario? I'm refuses to discuss, or you? You made reversion and saying, people are wrong without indicate the rationale. Like HiLo48 said, it will perfectly adequate to simply say the "LA" due to is already Wikilinked. --Aleenf1 08:01, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It seems likely that 2 persons fear of losing out, didn't comment, still biting out other people, let's see if more come to voice, Template:Infobox Olympic games stated only [City], [Country], with also stated MOS:OL should be obey, and also MOS:SOB, additionally i'm stated. --Aleenf1 08:29, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That's a lot of way to make article colourful also can make something simplified, is not hard for people to press the link if it was wikilinked. Rather than just populating something which "irrelevant", people will be remember LA 2028, rather than "LA California 2028". --Aleenf1 08:40, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Like we're doing with all the other Summer & Winter Olympic pages, we use only the city & country. Additional info, can go in the page's intro. GoodDay (talk) 14:53, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore, like @HiLo48: & @Aleenf1:. I've no problems with listing only the city, in the infobox. Above all though, we should have consistency across the board. GoodDay (talk) 15:04, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

PS: I've begun an RFC at WP:Olympics' talkpage, concerning this entire matter. GoodDay (talk) 15:34, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Like it or not, American city names are always listed with their corresponding states. This ridiculous little campaign for some sort of uniformity among Olympic cities flies in the face of what is done all over Wp. It's interesting none of you is American; it might serve you well to listen to those of us who know how American cities are identified instead of making up some screwball rules. I have restored the long-stable version of the city name, which includes California, and will treat attempts to remove it as disruptive. ----Dr.Margi 13:24, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Well that's just rude! Apart from "That's the way we Americans always do things and we don't care what anyone else thinks", what purpose does the name of the state actually serve? HiLo48 (talk) 03:45, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
As you 'now' know, edit-warring (5-reverts within roughly a few hour) isn't going to accomplish anything. You're welcomed to give your input at the aforementioned RFC, when you're able to. PS - If you do show up there & give your input? I recommend that you not arrive there, with the wrong attitude -- GoodDay (talk) 04:22, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Could we put here that this will be the first of two consecutive summer olympics to be hosted by a city that borders the Pacific Ocean? Nordicculturelover (talk) 06:22, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is there similar trivia for other items? For instance, is there anything that exist for host cities bordering the Atlantic, or in the South Hemisphere? Would hate to include this one but not others. swinquest (talk) 20:57, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not unless it is both properly cited from a reliable source, and considered notable. MapReader (talk) 04:32, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Downtown Sports Park

I have changed it to read, "Various venues in Downtown Los Angeles, Exposition Park and USC." Expo Park and USC are a couple of miles away from Crypto.com Arena (I'd know, I've walked it). pbp 14:35, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Redspork02: Could you please DISCUSS your revert and/or respond to my rationale? pbp 19:11, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Opened by…?

The winter games in Italy, France and even the USA and summer games in Brisbane all have listed in the info box who they are expecting to open the games. Is there a reason this is absent for Los Angeles but present for Salt Lake especially, as well as the other cities? Piratesswoop (talk) 04:47, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Participating nations

On 2022 Dominican Republic was the 1st country that qualified for Paris 2024 since 1 July 2022 (and France as host obviously), hours later USA qualified since 2022. So I open the Participating Nations and I put:

  • Domican Republic
  • France (Host)
  • USA

One user (Sports Fan, maybe I can't remember), started a war editions against me, saying that I did'nt have references etc, but we had the refences actually, finally I got blocked having Official references.

On 28 July 2025 the winner: Argentina or Colombia will be the 1st country qualified for LA2028 *(For more info. See 2025 Copa América Femenina semiFinals and Conmebol Regulations--->Regulations/Qualification for Olympics 2028). I think (having the official regulations/references) we are able to open the section Participating nations as

  • Colombia/or ARG (18 athletes)
  • USA (TBD) (Host).

Rey1996ss (talk) 19:07, 26 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely not. None of the sports have their qualification published or listed by the IOC. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 19:21, 26 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Absolutely Agree and pinging Sportsfan 1234. In fact Women's football for South America have their qualification published or listed in a document.
Read Wikipedia:No original research. We are not the IOC page we are Wiki. "To demonstrate that you are not adding original IOC research, you must be able to cite reliable, published sources "
So The sources are Copa America Femenina (soo many), Copa America Femenina Regulations and IOC is the original but Wikipedia articles must not contain original research.
Sometimes certain users prevent/make edits but are unaware of Wikipedia's rules. Rey1996ss (talk) 20:03, 26 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You don't understand what WP:OR is. Please review. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 20:49, 26 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Agree We should put the countries when they qualified.

Is 100% logical: Conmebol and FIFA published that the Copa America semi finalist-winners will qualify for LA 2028. IOC has many dead-broke links and when it publishes the full qualification, some will have already qualifiy before 187.184.5.58 (talk) 17:32, 27 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm. Olympics.com have removed any reference to this being an Olympic qualifier https://www.olympics.com/en/news/conmebol-copa-america-femenina-2025-full-schedule-all-results-scores-and-standings Topcardi (talk) 09:45, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
