New NFL stadium included in Los Angeles' 2024 Olympic bid
It may not be built yet, but Los Angeles' new NFL stadium is already part of the city's bid for the 2024 Olympic Games.
The $2.7-billion Inglewood stadium that will house the Los Angeles Rams and Chargers is set to be finished by 2019. The bid refers to it as "the world's most technologically advanced sports stadium," and says it will be used as part of the opening and closing ceremonies.
