Gymnastics events will be held at the recently renovated Crypto.com Arena in downtown LA, home to the NBA’s Lakers, NHL’s Kings, and WNBA’s Sparks (LA28).

LA28, the organizing committee for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Los Angeles, US, has updated its venue plan, with more of a focus on existing stadiums and arenas versus building new venues for the Games.

LA28 claims that the updated venue plan will earn more than $150 million in combined new revenue and cost savings.

LA28’s previous venue plan was developed in 2017 as part of the city’s bid for the Games. Since 2017 new stadiums and arenas have become available, a previously assigned venue has been rendered unavailable, new sports have been added, and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has developed a policy to encourage Games organizers to prioritize using existing or temporary venues, even if they are outside of the host city.

These proposals have been submitted to the City of Los Angeles governing body, which must approve competitions that have now moved outside of the city’s boundaries.
