As we know the iconic towering Cauldron on top of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, which was used with great effect at the Los Angeles Games of 1932 and 1984 will again be ignited at the City of Angels third Olympic Games in 2028. Whether their is a “partner Cauldron” or not (?) at Sofi Stadium and/or another Los Angeles location during the coming 2028 Opening Ceremonies, remains to be seen. In this era of diminishing sized Olympic and Paralympic Cauldrons and Flame sizes, or Cauldrons without a flame such as at Paris 2024, is it possible and cost effective to in 2028 use an environmentally friendly gas such as the hydrogen used in the Tokyo 2020 Cauldron?

Four years to go before the City of Angeles hosts their third Olympic Games in 2028. What an amazing Games we have to look forward to. The Dual-Stadium approach has already been announced for the LA2028 Opening Ceremony involving initial celebrations starting at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum (and where the active 1932 and 1984 Cauldron is) before moving over to the main OC venue being Sofi Stafium where the main part of the Ceremony and protocols will take place. WHICH CAULDRON AND WHERE ? Will the Cauldron at the LA Memorial Coliseum be user or featured in the 2028 Opening Ceremony? Will there be a new Cauldron inside or outside SoFi Stadium to light there given the protocols are all happening at Sofi Stadium? Will the Cauldron even be an actual flame given what we have seen at Paris 2024? Other Factors: >> ATHLETICS STARTS IN FIRST WEEK AT LA2028 AT LA MEMORIAL COLISEUM >> SWIMMING STARTS IN SECOND WEEK AT SOFI STADIUM >> CLOSING CEREMONY AT LA MEMORIAL COLISEUM Given recent announcements that Athletics will be held in the first week at LA Memorial Coliseum and Swimming to be begin in the second week at SoFi Stadium (once the OC overlay has been removed from over two temporary swimming and warmup pools pre-installed underneath): 1. Will theCauldron at LA Memorial Coliseum be lit on the night of the Opening Ceremony at SoFi Stadium? 2. Will there be a new Cauldron either inside or outside at SoFi Stafium?
