Four million tickets moved in the first drop. Seven soccer stadiums across six states. A swimming pool built inside an NFL stadium. The 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games will be the largest event America has ever staged, and almost everything you need to know to attend it, or watch it, has never been gathered in one place. Until now.
The LA28 Playbook is your scouting report, ticket strategist, and travel agent in one. It tells the full story behind the Games, from the 1932 invention to the 1984 revolution to the budget fights and controversies the press releases skip. Then it hands you the plan: how the ticket draw really works and the lessons the first sale taught, a sport-by-sport read on the events, rivalries, and overlooked sessions insiders book first, and a zone-by-zone game plan for where to stay, how to ride the trains, and what each day costs at three real budget tiers. For everyone watching from home, it maps the first fully live American Summer Games of the streaming era so you can follow every minute like an insider.
Whether you are planning the trip of a lifetime, catching a match in your hometown, or watching every minute from the couch, this is the candid, current, fan-first companion to the biggest seventeen days in American sports.
Seventeen days. Forty venues. One summer you will spend the rest of your life talking about. Here is your playbook.
