I have to be honest. I fear we are downgrading from the Paris Olympics in regards to venue locations.

I know LA has a different history, but it hurts my heart to see that the Olympics will be held at places like “Crypto.com Arena” and the “Intuit Dome”. Just seems so corporate and devoid of soul – which, honestly is very on brand for America, but still disheartening. They feel separated rather than integrated into the vibe of the city.

How do you feel about the proposed venues and their ability to represent LA/US culture

The current listed venues are:

Crypto.com Arena - Gymnastics Intuit Dome - Basketball SoFi Stadium - Swimming LA Memorial Stadium (good choice IMO) - Athletics Exposition Park - Dive Sepulveda Basin Area - Many other sports (equestrian, BMX, shooting, etc.) Long Beach - Variety of sports Oklahoma City - Canoe and Softball

    Ah! I did not know that. Makes sense.

    I was under the impression that it was just a US thing to brand hard.
