May 8, 2025
Los Angeles, CA – Today, Los Angeles County Supervisor and Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Commissioner Janice Hahn is applauding the decision that the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum will host Opening and Closing Ceremonies for the 2028 Olympic Games. Hahn has been outspoken about the importance of the Coliseum to Los Angeles Olympic history and the need to host the Opening Ceremonies in the iconic venue and light its historic Olympic torch.
“Olympic history at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum goes back nearly 100 years—with its Olympic torch and rings, the legacy of the Olympics is literally built into the venue,” said Hahn. “The Coliseum hosted the Opening and Closing Ceremonies in 1932 and 1984, and it is only right that this iconic venue will once again welcome the world to Los Angeles in 2028.”
