How much of a cluster will LA be in 2028?

We’re gonna go and take the kids. They’ll be 15 and 9 when it gets here.

I need to start planning pretty soon I guess. But 4 years out is a long time.

I assume they already know where every event will be. LA is so sprawling though

Has anyone here attended Olympic events before? Do you think it’s worth it to take a young kid?

Several. I can only compare it to Atlanta within the US but navigation during Olympics is normally done via public transportation which is usually significantly better than normal and has special Olympics targeted transpo, Atlanta certainly did.

I would absolutely take a kid. Plan to spend big money of the women's gymnastics tickets unless by miracle you win the ticket lottery. Try to get as many tickets as you can for most any event in the lottery. When you get there you will wish you had gotten tickets for more events.

The Olympics are an amazing in-person experience and would be a lifetime memory for a kid.

can't wait to see what they do with the hoards of homeless

I wonder how LA will address the homeless and tent cities.

my face when I end up with only breakdancing tickets

It will be great. They just showed on the news Gavin Newsome with work gloves on working his arse off cleaning up LA homeless encampments. What a great guy, LA will be great in 4 years!

if turnaround is fair play then he ought to ship em to Texas

Texas didn't ship any homeless to California. Abbot shipped illegals out and he won't put up with any of Newsom's BS.

Imagine of Biles was returning. Tickets would be even more insane.

I spent 10 days at the Atlanta Olympics in 1996. I would rate that vacation among my Top 3 over all. I averaged 2 sometimes 3 events per day. Start early with your plans. Gymnastics will be among the tickets most in demand and pricey. Obtain as many tickets for gymnastics events as your finances and the lottery system will allow. Any extras you end up with will be very easy to resell. Don't be afraid to attend other sports that you are less familiar with. Also be prepared that a favorite American or American team may be eliminated before the event you have tickets for takes place. Go to the event anyway. You will still enjoy the competition and experience. Also start booking accommodations really early as well. For Atlanta in 1996 all the major hotels were booked a year in advance. I booked a very nice apartment through the Atlanta Olympic Committee for my stay that actually worked out better than a hotel would have. Again, I had to secure the apartment a year in advance through the Olympic Committee similar to the event tickets.

If you choose to attend 2 to 3 events per day as I did, don't expect to have much time for sightseeing. If you're interested in that you should plan to arrive a few days before the Olympics or stay for a few days after they are over to do your sightseeing.
