As I read somewhere Paris and LA being the sole bidders they are able to make demands on the IOC rather than visa versa.
Maybe the track will need resurfacing before 2028.
Given that it's in a temp and humidity controlled building, it will likely still be in pretty good shape. Maybe a light sanding.

Unfortunately not much room to add bleachers.
According to various things I heard when it opened, I thought the layout supported adding another 1000 or so temporary seats for spectators.

It would be nice if USAC members could have first choice on tickets.
If by tickets you mean "opportunities to volunteer to make things run" that's probably true. Event tickets with seats will be another thing altogether.

The 84 game venues were located over a very wide area. Of course traffic has got heavier since 84.
I live far from the velodrome and if I'm still here in 2028 would have no trouble missing the impact of the games entirely, even though it's likely that there will be a lot going on a few miles away from me at the Rose Bowl.
