'Hosting the Games in 2028 is going to be a monumental opportunity, that's not only going to strengthen our city and power our communities, but give Angelenos a voice,' said one City Council member.
The Olympic torch may just have been passed from Beijing to Paris, but Los Angeles already has its sights set on 2028: Mayor Eric Garcetti on Monday signed a new executive directive designed to create a"Games Cabinet," as part of preparations for the 2028 Summer Olympics that will be hosted in the city.
The announcement came Monday morning, in front of a view of the LA skyline and the lit Olympic flame at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Garcetti also recalled his own experience watching the closing ceremony for the 1982 Olympic Games, which were also hosted in Los Angeles at the Coliseum.
