The Coliseum could see as much as $800 million in renovations if the Olympics come to L.A. in 2024.
The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum may once again become a part of sports history.
On Tuesday, US Olympic Committee CEO Scott Blackmun announced that Los Angeles had been selected as America's candidate to host the 2024 Summer Games. With that, a possible $800 million in upgrades and renovations could be earmarked for one of the most historic venues in all of sports. The announcement comes a month after staunch taxpayer opposition dashed the city of Boston's initial bid.
