The 2028 Los Angeles Olympics will host some events in Oklahoma City to save costs and avoid new construction, with softball and canoe slalom moving to top-tier venues there. Swimming events will be held in a temporary pool at SoFi Stadium, which will also host the Opening Ceremonies. These changes align with the International Olympic Committee's push for more affordable Games.
The LA28 committee has announced the venues for the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Olympics, opting to use existing structures. Notably, SoFi Stadium will host swimming events, making it the largest swimming venue in Olympic history. Additionally, Oklahoma City will host softball and canoe slalom due to a lack of suitable venues in Southern California. Other key locations include the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for track and field, Crypto.Com Arena for gymnastics, and the Intuit Dome for basketball. More venues will be announced in the future.
The 2028 Los Angeles Olympics will host swimming events at SoFi Stadium, an NFL venue, to attract larger crowds and generate more revenue. The decision reflects the economic strategy of the LA28 Organizing Committee, which aims to fund the $6.9 billion budget through private sources and sponsorships, similar to the profitable 1984 LA Olympics.
The 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles will see significant venue changes, including moving basketball to the new Intuit Dome, placing a temporary swimming pool in SoFi Stadium, and relocating softball games to Oklahoma City.

The International Olympic Committee has conditionally approved the proposal, pending a vote by the Los Angeles City Council.
A recent study classified a stop on Taylor Swift's "Eras Tour" as a seismic event, with researchers identifying the five loudest moments during the concert at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. The strongest seismic activity occurred during Swift's performance of "Shake it Off," generating a seismic wave with a 0.851 magnitude likely from the crowd's dancing and jumping. Other high-energy moments included performances of "You Belong With Me," "Love Story," "Cruel Summer," and "22." The study compared the concert's intensity to a Metallica show and found that Swift's choreographed performances and consistent beat range may contribute to the seismic activity. This isn't the first time fans of the pop star have caused seismic events, and Swift is set to continue her tour in Europe in May 2024.
A study by Caltech and UCLA researchers found that Taylor Swift's concerts at Los Angeles' SoFi Stadium caused earthquake-like activity, with signals from her show registering on seismic network stations and strong-motion sensors. The study revealed that the seismic activity was primarily a result of the dancing and jumping motions of Swift's audience, rather than the stadium's sound system. The research also calculated the energy released by each song in terms of its equivalent earthquake magnitude, with Swift's "Shake It Off" resulting in the largest local magnitude. This phenomenon, also observed at her Seattle shows, has prompted interest in further research into stadium response to seismic activity.
Seismologists from Caltech reported that Taylor Swift's concert at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles last year caused ground shaking equivalent to a magnitude-2 earthquake, with fans' jumping and dancing during "Shake It Off" registering as seismic activity. The study, conducted at the request of the California Office of Emergency Services, compared the seismic impact of Swift's concert to a Metallica performance at the same venue, finding that despite a higher attendance at the latter, Swift's show generated more ground shaking due to the passionate dancing and jumping by fans.
