Jeanie Buss, Magic Johnson Among Los Angeles 2024 Olympic Board Of Directors Nominees

With the St. Louis Rams moving to Los Angeles and building a new state-of-the-art stadium in Inglewood, the city of Los Angeles is looking to become the sports capital of the world.

Adding a brand new football stadium to a city that already has all the necessary facilities was perhaps the last step in returning the Olympics to the city of Los Angeles.

In August 2015 Los Angeles was chosen by the United States Olympic Committee after The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously to back the bid. It is now down to just L.A. and Paris to host the 2024 games.
