LA28: Not a New Primary Stadium for Opening Ceremony
This prediction asks if a **fully new** primary stadium, built specifically for the LA28 Games, will host the opening ceremony. The ceremony is scheduled for July 14, 2028.
LA28's Existing Infrastructure Plan
The overwhelming **'No'** vote is based on the core philosophy of the LA28 bid: to use existing world-class venues to control costs and minimize environmental impact. The opening ceremony is planned to be held simultaneously at the **Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum** (a historic, but refurbished stadium) and **SoFi Stadium** (a massive, recently completed stadium that was *not* built specifically for the Olympics, but for the NFL). No plans exist for a new primary Olympic stadium, making a 'Yes' outcome highly improbable (Source: Wikipedia, LA28 official site).
