LOS ANGELES - Los Angeles County may want to get dressed up.

From the Sepulveda Recreation Center in Encino to Carson’s StubHub Center to San Pedro’s outer harbor on the L.A. Waterfront, venues spread across Los Angeles County would find themselves in a global spotlight if Los Angeles secures its bid to host the 2024 Summer Olympics.

Details of the bid were rolled out this week, and the Los Angeles City Council agreed to form an ad hoc committee to oversee the city’s push to win the nod from the International Olympic Committee.

A 200-page draft bid book released by LA24, the nonprofit agency leading the Los Angeles bid, lists proposed event venues in groups, including a Valley cluster, Hollywood cluster, downtown cluster, coastal cluster, South Bay cluster and “other venues” that take in The Forum in Inglewood (for volleyball), the Rose Bowl in Pasadena (for soccer), the L.A. Waterfront (for sailing) and Lake Casitas (for rowing and the canoe sprint).

A renovated Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum would serve as the games’ centerpiece for opening and closing ceremonies. (Source: Los Angeles Daily News)
