The Stadium in Exposition Park will be the lacrosse venue for the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, World Lacrosse has announced.
As well as showcasing lacrosse at an Olympic Games for the first time in 80 years, The Stadium will also host flag football during LA28 with the pitch being configured according to the smaller field of play used for both disciplines.
Situated in the heart of Los Angeles, The Stadium in Exposition Park has a capacity of 22,000 and is home to Los Angeles FC and Angel City FC who play in the MLS and NWSL respectively.
Despite only opening seven years ago in 2018, The Stadium has already experienced high-level lacrosse when it hosted the inaugural, and so far only, Premier League Lacrosse All-Star Game in July 2019.
Iron Maiden, Guns N’ Roses, The Killers, and Blackpink have all performed sell-out concerts at The Stadium that is adjacent to the LA Memorial Coliseum and within walking distance of other key LA28 venues.
Every LA28 venue assignment is subject to final approval from the International Olympic Committee Executive Board next month.
