Anaheim, Long Beach and more added to LA 2024 Olympic bid

New venue locations have been added to L.A.’s 2024 Olympic bid, including the Honda Center in Anaheim, the Riviera Country Club in the Pacific Palisades, Lake Perris, and most notably, Long Beach.

The Los Angeles Coliseum, venue for the 1932 and 1984 Olympic Games, and one of the possible locations for a public memorial service for music legend Michael Jackson, is pictured on July 1, 2009 in Los Angeles. The family of Michael Jackson ruled out holding a poignant funeral at the star's Neverland estate as the singer's will was made public for the first time. Local media reported a public memorial for Jackson may now be held at the 20,000-seat Staples Center or the bigger 100, 000 seat Los Angeles Coliseum.

New venue locations have been added to L.A.’s 2024 Olympic bid, including the Honda Center in Anaheim, the Riviera Country Club in the Pacific Palisades, Lake Perris, and most notably, Long Beach.

The volleyball competition would be held at the Honda Center, while the golf competition would be held at the country club; and a total of six events will be held in Long Beach, the biggest Olympic presence in the city’s history.

Though the International Olympic Committee won’t select the host city until Sept. 13, 2017, what will it take for the designated venues to be event-ready?
