Overview
- The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously to consolidate the Olympic closing ceremony at the Memorial Coliseum in Exposition Park.
- The action approved a motion from councilmembers Curren Price and Marqueece Harris-Dawson and was adopted without prior discussion.
- Under the Games Agreement, the city’s approval was needed to formally change an official ceremony venue.
- The Opening Ceremony remains a dual-venue event at the Coliseum and SoFi Stadium on July 14, 2028, while the Closing Ceremony is set for July 30 at the Coliseum.
- Paralympic ceremonies stay on track with the Opening at SoFi on Aug. 14 and the Closing at the Coliseum on Aug. 27, and the council earlier moved Olympic diving to the Rose Bowl Aquatics Center for cost and revenue reasons.
