Bear Posted September 3, 2023 Report Posted September 3, 2023 A decision on the canoe slalom venue is hopefully expected before the end of the year: ICF President "very optimistic" over agreement on LA 2028 venue for canoe slalom (insidethegames.biz) 1 Quote

Quaker2001 Posted January 17 Report Posted January 17 Not an Olympic venue yet, but clearly this is going to be used for something Quote
StefanMUC Posted January 17 Report Posted January 17 Seeing this thread, a question from me: I’ll be on a US Southwest tour this year with two days in LA. Is the Coliseum open for visitors/worth it if so? Will be there with the family on Labor Day weekend actually. Quote

I’m in LA with my job shortly and will try and hire a car and take some photos around the Coliseum. Will also try to check out SoFi Stadium which is a bit closer to Orange County where I’m staying. 1 Quote
Sir Rols Posted January 21 Report Posted January 21 Please don’t. We know what the Coliseum looks like 1 Quote

That one is still under construction, so I'd be curious to see how things are progressing there Quote

I guess you missed the bit about the LA Coliseum tours that @Bear posted which I’m hoping if I can get on one will cover at least part of the internals lf the stadium as well as hopefully a look at the cauldron tower more closely. If I cant jag a spot on a tour earlier than September, will do the best I can from a walkaround. Quote

AustralianFan Posted January 21 Author Report Posted January 21 @FYI, yep it’s 63kms away so a looonng series of bus rides if no car Quote
FYI Posted January 21 Report Posted January 21 2 hours ago, Sir Rols said: Please don’t. We know what the Coliseum looks like I just don't know where they find the time, really. I mean between 'their job', that sends them globe-trotting all the time it seems, taking pictures, & all their constant spamming/lecturing/creating phony handles here, & supposedly some sort of a life in-between, they're just can't be enough hours in a single day!

AustralianFan Posted January 22 Author Report Posted January 22 Yikes, it’s raining in Los Angeles today, the 405 is blocked and so the long way to bed today from LAX on another freeway in Orange County. Just saw SoFi Stadium as we whizzed by, directly under a LAX flight path. The roof on the stadium might help shield the aircraft noise during the opening ceremony in ‘28 (?) Quote

My parents told me it's been raining a lot the past few days, but I think it should get better over the next few days. Enjoy your time in SoCal Quote

I’m used to LA being so sunny during all the seasons and its rare to see it raining here. Snow up on Big Bear i; the Rockies behind Los Angeles I’ve seen a few times over the years on these work trips and that is a beautiful sight on a sunny day as the snow up there reflects the sunlight.

I am not joking - at all. Quote Welcome to the the Coliseum... not. nil female changing rooms no escalators in the stadium ’toddler size’ seats nil wifi connectivity long climb up stairsto upper tiers no designated lifts for disabled or less mobile spectators, just freight lifts this old stadium’s wiring resulted in the 1994 Northridge earthquake They can and will knock down this dog of a stadium and build that better, inclusive, accessible, connected, comfy replacement for NFL use.
