After Paris, Los Angeles will host the Summer Olympics and Paralympics in 2028, and the organizing committee has chosen the Intuit Dome for the men's and women's basketball events.
This is the new Clippers room. It is located in Inglewood, near the old Forum where Magic Johnson's Lakers played. It was in this room that the basketball events took place in 1984.
This is a new success for Steve Ballmer and the Clippers since their venue has already been chosen to host the 2026 All-Star Game. Initially, the Olympic basketball events were to take place at the Crypto.com Arena, but the committee decided to organization benefited from the construction of the Intuit Dome.
It is now gymnastics that will take place in the Lakers room. A program change that will save tens of millions of dollars according to the Los Angeles Times.
Note that at the 2028 Olympics, swimming will take place at SoFi Stadium, the stadium of the Rams (NFL), with a 50-meter-long pool and the ability to accommodate 38,000 spectators. This will be a record for swimming events. Initially, swimming was to be held on the USC campus, as in the 1932 and 1984 Olympics.
