The plan to bring the Olympics back to Los Angeles for a third time has become a little clearer with city officials offering additional details about how they would stage the massive sporting event.
Their $4.1-billion bid proposal for the 2024 Summer Games — contained in a 218-page book made public Tuesday — shows they expect private-sector partners to pay more than $1.7 billion in additional venue costs.
The proposal also contains more detailed revenue projections, with an estimated $4.8 billion from ticket sales, broadcast rights and corporate sponsorships generating a $161-million surplus.
