Forget billion-dollar stadiums. Forget endless traffic jams. The Los Angeles 2028 Olympics (LA28) is rewriting the playbook—and the entire world is watching.

No New Stadiums?

Yes, you read that right. Not a single new venue will be built for LA28. Instead, organizers will use LA’s existing arenas like SoFi Stadium, the Rose Bowl, and crypto.com Arena.

This bold “no-build” strategy is meant to save billions, cut waste, and prove that cities don’t have to go broke hosting the Games.

The End of LA Traffic Hell?

Every Angeleno’s nightmare is the same: Olympics + LA = traffic disaster. But LA28 promises to change that.

For the first time in Olympic history, the Games will be “transit first.” That means fans, athletes, and visitors will rely on LA Metro, buses, shuttles, and even expanded bike lanes—not endless car lines.

Why Everyone’s Talking About It

Critics said it couldn’t be done. But if LA pulls this off, LA28 could become the most sustainable Olympics in history—and maybe the model for every Games that follows.

Some are calling it “the Olympics that might save the Olympics.”

What This Means for You

If you’re planning to attend, get ready for an Olympics experience that’s cheaper, greener, and—dare we say—actually fun to get to.

And if LA28 succeeds, the world may never go back to the old way of building the Games.
