OKLAHOMA CITY — The Los Angeles Olympics appear to be heading to Oklahoma — about 1,300 miles east of the host city. In an effort to maximize existing facilities and keep costs down, Los Angeles organizers have proposed that softball and canoe slalom be held in Oklahoma’s capital city during the 2028 Games, organizers announced Friday. The IOC executive committee has approved the venue assignments, pending approval from the City of Los Angeles.
Little by little, improvements have helped make the facility stand out. From 2013 to 2015, expanded dugouts, underground locker rooms and training rooms were among the additions. Renovations to the outer entrances and press box area began in 2018, adding a brick facade with new ticket windows and entrances. A three-story press box was added with new interview rooms around that time. About 4,000 permanent seats were added after the 2019 World Series.
