BOB2,

From the IKIW:
In 2006, Los Angeles entered the bidding to become the US applicant city for the 2016 Summer Olympics; the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) selected Chicago instead. In September 2011, Los Angeles was awarded the 2015 Special Olympics World Summer Games.[7] In March 2013, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa sent a letter to the USOC stating that the city was interested in bidding to host the 2024 Olympic Games.[8] On September 17, 2013, the LA County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a resolution seeking interest in the Games.[9]
On April 26, 2014, the Southern California Committee for the Olympic Games announced its bid proposal for the 2024 Olympics.[10] On July 28, 2015, the USOC contacted Los Angeles about stepping in as a replacement bidder for the 2024 Summer Games after Boston dropped its bid.[11] On September 1, 2015, the LA City Council voted 15–0 to support a bid for the 2024 Olympic Games.[12] The U.S. Olympic Committee finalised its selection moments after the LA City Council's vote.[13][14] On January 13, 2016, Los Angeles 2024 committee officials said they were "thrilled to welcome" the construction of a $2-billion-plus, state-of-the-art football stadium in Inglewood, California and believed the arrival of one—and perhaps two—NFL teams would bolster its chances.[15] On January 25, 2016, the Los Angeles 2024 committee announced that it planned to place its Olympic Village on the UCLA campus. LA 2024 also announced that media members and some Olympic officials would be housed in a 15-acre residential complex USC planned to build.[
