Bid history

In 2006, Los Angeles entered the bidding to become the US applicant city for the 2016 Summer Olympics; the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) selected Chicago instead that year. In September 2011, Los Angeles was awarded the 2015 Special Olympics World Summer Games. In March 2013, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa sent a letter to the USOC stating that the city was interested in bidding to host the 2024 Olympic Games. On September 17, 2013, the L.A. County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a resolution seeking interest in the games.

On April 26, 2014, the Southern California Committee for the Olympic Games announced its bid proposal for the 2024 Olympics. On July 27, 2015, after Boston withdrew its bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics, Mayor Eric Garcetti stated "I continue to believe that Los Angeles is the ideal Olympic city and we have always supported the USOC in their effort to return the Games to the United States. I would be happy to engage in discussions with the USOC about how to present the strongest and most fiscally responsible bid on behalf of our city and nation."

Los Angeles Steps In

On July 28, 2015, the USOC contacted Los Angeles about the possibility of stepping in as a replacement bidder for the 2024 Summer Games. On August 28, 2015, the Los Angeles City Council gave its support to a possible city bid to host the 2024 Summer Olympic Games. The move by the Ad Hoc Committee on the 2024 Summer Olympics followed a discussion about a joinder agreement that city officials say is needed for the USOC to submit Los Angeles to the IOC as its bid city. In the event the USOC chooses Los Angeles as the nation’s bid city, the agreement would serve as a commitment by city leaders that they will pursue the Games. On September 1, 2015, the LA City Council voted 15-0 to support a bid for the 2024 Olympic Games. Mayor Eric Garcetti began negotiations with the U.S. Olympic Committee without obligating the city financially.

Phase Three / Taking It Global

On September 13, 2016, on the one year "to-go mark" before Olympic leaders gather to vote, the LA 2024 bid committee released a video touting its campaign to bring the Summer Games back to Los Angeles. The two-minute spot features a montage of local scenes with narration by children describing their “dream city” while images of LA are shown. On October 7, 2016, LA 2024 officials have once again made adjustments to their proposal for the 2024 Summer Olympics, moving half of a large and potentially expensive media center to the USC campus. On October 21, 2016, the LA 2024 bid committee has once again enlisted U.S. Olympians to help make the case for bringing the Summer Olympics to Los Angeles.

On November 12, 2016, the LA 2024 committee traveled to Doha, Qatar for LA 2024's first presentation to the IOC. Mayor Eric Garcetti and Allyson Felix, the six-time gold medalist sprinter, lead an LA 2024 contingent and presented its bid to an array of Olympic leaders and sports officials at a general assembly for the Assn. of National Olympic Committees. On November 15, 2016, Felix said, "I want to tell you about the America that I love, and the America that needs the Games to help make our nation better — now more than ever...Please don't doubt us. America's diversity is our greatest strength. Diversity is not easy. Diversity is a leap of faith that embraces all faiths. And that's why I believe L.A. is a perfect choice for the 2024 Games, because the face of our city reflects the face of the Olympic movement itself." On November 23, 2016, President-elect Donald Trump expressed his support for Los Angeles's 2024 Olympic bid during a phone call with Garcetti and later with Thomas Bach, president of the International Olympic Committee, to express support for the bid. On December 2, 2016, the bid committee released a new budget estimating it would spend $5.3 billion to stage the Games. On January 11, 2017, with Los Angeles bidding to host the 2024 Summer Olympics, U.S. officials have adopted an all-or-nothing approach to bringing the Games back to the United States. On January 13, 2017, leader of a private committee bidding to bring the Summer Olympics back to Los Angeles appeared before city officials to once again face questions about whether the multi billion-dollar sporting event might pose a threat to taxpayer dollars. On January 16, 2017,officials finalized their bid to bring the Summer Olympics back to Southern California, they faced a difficult choice regarding the location of the opening and closing ceremonies.The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum offered a sense of history and the backing of Los Angeles City Council members eager to keep the Games’ premiere events within city limits. But the $2.6-billion stadium the Rams are building in Inglewood would give the bid a more modern and expensive feel. So LA 2024 proposed a way to use both. On January 17, 2017, LA 2024 the organization hoping to bring the Olympics back to Los Angeles, announced the location of three more venues. On January 20, 2017, a group of Los Angeles City Council members gathered to discuss their city’s bid to host the 2024 Summer Olympics.The primary reason for the session was to debate finances: If Los Angeles is selected for 2024, the city would be asked to sign a “host city contract” promising to cover any financial shortfall should the mega-event run over budget.

On January 23, 2017, Mayor Eric Garcetti told the Pacific Council on International Policy that bringing the Games back to L.A. for a third time ranks as a “big” global priority for 2017. On January 25, 2017, the Los Angeles City Council has given unanimous final approval to a privately run bid that could bring the Olympics back to Southern California. On January 30, 2017, the uproar US President Trump's ban has renewed concerns that Los Angeles’ campaign to host the 2024 Summer Olympics might be hurt by national politics. On February 2, 2017, if Los Angeles wins the right to host the 2024 Summer Olympics, organizers would seek to offset the estimated $5.3-billion budget with average ticket prices of more than $1,700 for the opening ceremony and $250-$450 for marquee events such as the gymnastics final and basketball gold-medal game. Less popular Olympic events, including preliminaries for rugby and shooting, would average about $34 a ticket, according to documents the LA 2024 bid committee made public. On February 3, 2017, when international tensions prompted Iran to ban U.S. wrestlers from a prestigious meet in that country, LA 2024 officials said they believe Olympic leaders will remain open to awarding the Summer Games to Los Angeles. On February 7, 2017, the private committee bidding to bring the 2024 Summer Games back to Los Angeles has launched a program to get the people of Southern California in the mood to help out. LA 2024’s Volunteer Service Program will link residents to one-day volunteering opportunities throughout the area over the next few months — and anyone who signs up will be be given priority when it comes to applying for volunteer spots if Los Angeles is awarded the Games seven years from now. On February 28, 2017, it was announced that four Hollywood film studios (Disney, Fox, NBCUniversal and Warner Bros) would be helping promote the Los Angeles bid. On March 3, 2017, it was reported that IOC official Frankie Fredericks, who is heading up the IOC's evaluation of Los Angeles, has been linked to ongoing French probe into whether votes for to determine the hosts of the 2016 Summer Olympics and 2020 Summer Olympics were bought. On March 7, 2017, faced with questions about his ties to a corruption investigation, a top Olympic official has stepped down from his role as chief evaluator for the 2024 Olympic bids being presented by Los Angeles and Paris. Frankie Fredericks, who has denied any wrongdoing in the probe, announced his resignation as chairman of the International Olympic Committee’s evaluation commission. The IOC will tour and evaluate Los Angeles May 10–12, 2017.

IOC

2024 Olympic Bid Evaluation Commission

The non-voting commison is scheduled to tour Los Angeles on April 23 to April 25, 2017. It will be the first of the three stops by the group. The 14-member evaluation commission, headed by four-time Olympic silver medalist sprinter Frank Fredericks of Namibia, will place particular emphasis on compliance with the IOC’s Agenda 2020 reforms both during the on-site visits and in evaluating submitted documents. Several commission members are not strangerd to the U.S. Three members of the commission participated in the 1984 Olympic Games in L.A. Morocco’s Nawal El Moutawakel, a graduate of Iowa State, won the 400-meter hurdles in 1984, the first time the event was held for women. Brazil’s Bernard Rajzman earned a silver medal in volleyball in Los Angeles, and Tsunekazu Takeda was a coach for Japan’s equestrian team at the 1984 Games. Two other members of the commission were educated in the U.S. Kirsty Coventry of Zimbabwe, the 2004 and 2008 Olympic 200-meter backstroke champion, attended Auburn. Switzerland’s Patrick Baumann, secretary general of FIBA, basketball’s global governing body, has an MBA from the University of Chicago. Following the three visits, the evaluation commission will publish a report in June on the three cities that will cover both documents the bid cities have submitted to the IOC and the on-site analysis.

Former Members

Frank Fredericks stepped down from the commission, on March 7, 2017, due on corruption claims.

Costs

UCLA, USC, NBC Universal, Los Angeles Rams and the city of Los Angeles are modernizing or building infrastructure to future Olympic venues totaling over $3 billion dollars. Not listed as non-OCOG. The City of Los Angeles has guaranteed to sign the required Olympic City Charter and be the sole entity responsible for the games and cost surplus or overruns. The City has pledged to contribute $250 million to cover any cost overruns. The State of California has also created a state-funded Olympic Games Trust Fund that would pay for potential budget overruns up to $250 million. Both government guaranty payments would begin only after LA 2024’s private insurance pays out with its contingency guarantees.

Sustainability

For LA2024 Committee, sustainability in terms of infrastructure, economics and environment are one of the key points of Olympic Agenda 2020, a great priority for IOC.

Transport and Infrastructure

LAX, the city's main airport, is investing more than USD 1.9 billion into the new Tom Bradley International Terminal. Passengers now have access to a 14,000 square meter Great Hall featuring more than 60 premier dining and luxury retail shops, and 23,000 square meters of duty-free shops. LAX is modernizing every single terminal and the airside experience – a USD 8.5 billion project – and investing USD 5 billion in the construction of landside improvements, runway rehabilitation, terminal renovations, improved baggage handling, security and communications improvements, and improved ground access and circulation in the surrounding street network. LAX will also further expand its capacity through the construction of a new Midfield Concourse Terminal, which will have 11 new gates by 2019. All budgeted and paid for by the City of Los Angeles and work commenced in 2008. All scheduled for completion by 2023, with a total cost of over 10 billion Dollars. It is considered to be the largest public works project in the history of the City.

The Los Angeles Metro passed a county wide measure expanding the county of Los Angeles' transportation tax for modernization of its infrastructure in 2008. This measure provides funding for many of the highest priority projects, including the Crenshaw/LAX Line connecting to LAX, Regional Connector light rail subway line corridor thru Downtown LA to Santa Monica and Long Beach, Purple Line Extension subway to UCLA, the Los Angeles Streetcar thru Downtown LA and five other transit lines and projects in the draft stages. The Purple Line and Crenshaw/LAX connectors are to be completed in time for 2024. The transportation plans are already fully funded by LA County voters. A second measure, Measure M passed in November 2016 elections, this new measure will extend the transportation tax funds indefinitely and speed up many other projects with $120 billion in highway and transit projects over forty years, including a Sepulveda Subway line from the Valley to the Los Angeles westside thru the Sepulveda Pass.

LA 2024 bid leaders are touting these measures and infrastructure improvements as indicators of the new Los Angeles and a car free Olympics in a city known for its car culture. 158.5 km (98 miles) of new rails, 93 stations and 350,000 daily average boarding's. Los Angeles had no rail lines in 1984. Bid leaders indicate public rail transportation lines will be available to all of the clusters, Downtown Long Beach, San Fernando Valley Sports Park, Downtown L.A., and the Santa Monica beach cluster.

LA 2024 Bid Committee

Leadership

In addition, the 2024 Bid Committee includes a 45-member athletes' advisory committee, which includes Andre Agassi, Allyson Felix, Michelle Kwan, Katie Ledecky, Greg Louganis, Carl Lewis, Apolo Ohno, Landon Donovan and Michael Phelps.

Sport Legacy

The Los Angeles Olympic bid committee stated its legacy will be delivering a sustainable model for the bidding process and delivery of a cost-effective Olympic Games. LA 2024 intends to build on the proven living legacy of the Los Angeles 1984 Olympic Games. The LA84 Foundation, the legacy organization of the Games, dramatically changed city-wide access to sport. Examples include Serena and Venus Williams. Over the last 30 years, this foundation has introduced more than 3 million young people to Olympic sport and awarded 2,200 grants to sports organizations to promote healthy living through education, exercise, competition, and outcome-based results within and beyond sport. A remodeled Olympic Coliseum stadium, no white elephants, and a budget surplus. Los Angeles 2024 bid leaders are focusing on delivering a Olympic Games for best athlete experience and not a center piece for a city revitalization project, for example Sochi, Russia or Beijing, China. Bid leaders have indicated Los Angeles is transforming itself and does not need a city showcase and has the ability to showcase the athletes instead. Reports concluded that “the low-risk financial strategy of the bid greatly reduces the risk that the Southern California economy will bear large, long-term taxpayer expenses related to the Games.” There are no large infrastructure projects connected with the bid and “accordingly, for Los Angeles, the Olympics probably would not generate much or any long-term economic gain related to new infrastructure.”

Social Economic and Benefit

The theme and bid embodies Agenda 2020 reforms of Olympics in Los Angeles, A surplus of $161 Million is predicted. On January 9, 2017, the LA24 committee issued a report predicting that the mega-sporting event would boost the local economy by $11.2 billion.

Proposed venues

The 2024 Los Angeles Olympic bid takes advantage of a large amount of existing and temporary venues in and around the city of Los Angeles. Per candidature file Stage 1 United States Olympic Committee pages 8–10, only one Olympic venue is to be constructed, the Canoe Slalom in the Valley.

Olympic ceremonies

Olympic ceremonies could be held in two venues simultaneously, the ceremony would begin at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Exposition Park to honor the legacy of the olympics in Los Angeles and then transfer to the new L.A. Stadium in Inglewood to proceed with the parade of athletes, oaths, traditional Olympic protocol and the lighting of a cauldron. LA24 bid leaders wish to use the new LA stadium to dispel negative thought about using the LA Memorial Coliseum for a third Olympics. They also cite ticket sales at both sites as extra cash flow for the committee. The LA24 team also stated they would reverse the closing ceremony with a start at LA stadium venue and close the show at the LA Coliseum if chosen.

Football (Soccer) Stadiums

Football venues will be situated within Los Angeles and in other states, to be determined.

Los Angeles venues

Changed venues

Piggyback Yard, a rail yard along the LA River, was the original proposed location for the Olympic Village. It would have been an entirely new residential development that would be permanent housing after the games. The plan was abandoned and UCLA was chosen as the new proposed location.
