Please note that Los Angeles has been considering ceremonies that travel between SoFi and Memorial Coliseum (going one direction for the Opening Ceremonies and the opposite for the closing ceremonies).
I can understand the tradeoffs involved with what Paris did. In fact, for the person screaming about the athletes going too soon… I know a lot of people really appreciated having that get broken up like it did. If you’re desperate for gaining fame during the athletes march, you’re probably not realizing how many people would rather let the sport give you fame… the march was usually time to hit the loo for most.
Thing is, what LA needs to consider… it’s not Paris. So many of the Paris landmarks are along the Seine, so that’s not something Los Angeles can match. Mind you, if they have John Travolta cruising the concrete bed of the Los Angeles River in an old T-Bird, eh…
