NFT: Los Angeles to represent the US and bid for 2024 Olympics

One of the only cities in the world that would actually turn a profit from the Games since all the infrastructure is in place. This is pending approval by the LA city council, but that won't be a problem considering how successful LA's been historically as an Olympic city

All they'd need to do is refurbish the Coliseum which has held up remarkably for a large stadium almost 100 years old. USC has done a terrific job keeping the old Coliseum in good shape.

As for the rest of the infrastructure, most of the summer Olympic athletes train in SoCal anyway because the best facilities are there

NFL stadium(s), depending on how many teams move there, will help with venue logistics.

Nah they will all have left again by then


The new stadium will definitely help

as for football there, I think LA can support one NFL team but not two. If you look at attendances the Rams did pretty well at the gate before the Raiders arrived and split their fanbase
