The Los Angeles 2024 Olympic bid plans to use both the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and a to-be-built NFL stadium for its Opening Ceremony.
“The L.A. 2024 plan will create a citywide celebration in two, iconic Los Angeles venues,” a video published Monday said. “One, hosting the ceremony and representing our city’s fascination with what’s next. And the other, honoring L.A.’s great, historic Olympic past in an unprecedented citywide celebration for a new Games for a new era.”
The Coliseum hosted the ceremonies in 1932 and 1984, the previous two times Los Angeles hosted the Olympics.
Opening Ceremonies generally have one venue, though a cauldron has been lit outside the venue, such as at Vancouver 2010 and Rio 2016.
