Track and field is moving at lightning speed at the Los Angeles Olympics from July 15 to July 30, 2028. 

Track and field during the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics will be held at L.A. Memorial Coliseum located in Exposition Park from July 15 through July 30. The stadium was originally built in 1923 as a memorial to veterans who served in World War I. It is currently home of the University of Southern California (USC) Trojans football team and located directly next to the school’s main University Park campus. 

The venue will also host Olympic Opening and Closing Ceremonies on July 14 and July 30 as well as para track and field during the Paralympics.

L.A. Memorial Coliseum has a seating capacity of about 77,500 spectators. 

One of the largest stadiums in the U.S., the Coliseum was home of the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams from 1946 to 1979 and again from 2016 to 2019. The site also hosted the first NFL World Championship Game in 1967, now called the Super Bowl. It served as a home field for other football teams in the past such as the Los Angeles Chargers, Los Angeles Raiders and UCLA Bruins. 

It has also been the temporary home of the MLB’s Los Angeles Dodgers from 1958 to 1961 and venue for several games of the 1959 World Series. More recently, the venue hosted a pre-season NASCAR Cup Series exhibition event, Clash at The Coliseum, from 2022-2024. 

The Coliseum has hosted numerous iconic concerts. In 1981, The Rolling Stones played the stadium and in 1985, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band concluded their Born in the U.S.A. Tour with four consecutive concerts in front of 82,000 people each night.

The historic site is also where John F. Kennedy accepted the Democratic Party nomination for President in 1960.

The Coliseum hosted the Opening and Closing Ceremonies as well as track and field events during both the 1932 and 1984 Summer Olympics. L.A. Memorial Coliseum will become the only stadium to host track and field events in three separate Olympics.
