Officials respond to updated LA28 venue list

What they're saying:

"We’ve promised the world an incredible Olympic Games and today we’re proud to share the plan that will make it happen," said LA28 Chief Executive Officer Reynold Hoover. "Los Angeles is the epicenter of sports, culture and entertainment, and every venue selected for the 2028 Games will provide athletes and fans the best possible experience. The 2028 Olympic venue plan invites communities from across the region to celebrate the Games coming to their backyard with the most exciting sports staged at some of the world’s top-tier existing stadiums and arenas, famous beaches and purpose-built temporary structures."

"I'm excited to hear the news that the 2028 Olympic men's and women's volleyball will be hosted in Anaheim, and that Trestles Beach will bring the Olympic surfing competitors, coaches, and visitors right into the Fifth District. This is significant for Orange County, and an incredible opportunity to welcome the world to our doorstep," said Orange County Board of Supervisors Vice Chair Katrina Foley. 

Her statement continued to say, "I look forward to the boost this will give our local economy, as visitors will get to experience vibrant shopping centers, clean beaches, a thriving arts and cultural scene, and ideally a revitalized harbor with a surf lodge hotel in Dana Point. I hope this announcement today motivates all of the involved government agencies to collaborate better, streamline and expedite permitting, and support our efforts to stabilize the coastal rail corridor which will transport thousands of visitors, and build out the commercial core and hotels for Dana Point Harbor for lodging. The County will do our part. The Fabulous Fifth is prepared to showcase its unique offerings on the global stage."
