LOS ANGELES (AP) - The 2028 Los Angeles Olympics will feature baseball at Dodger Stadium in its return to the program with surfing and cricket held outside the city as part of an updated venue plan released Tuesday by the organizing committee.
Surfing will be at Trestles Beach, a renowned collection of surfing spots between northern San Diego County and southern San Clemente in Orange County, about an hour's drive south of downtown Los Angeles. It formerly hosted a World Surfing League competition and attracts about 2.5 million visitors every year.
"We've promised the world an incredible Olympic Games and today we're proud to share the plan that will make it happen," LA28 chief executive officer Reynold Hoover said in a statement.
Cricket will return to the Olympics for the first time in a century at a temporary structure at the Fairgrounds in Pomona, about 35 miles from LA.
