My guess is that the StubHub Center Velodrome will be used as proposed by LA

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.
Unfortunately not much room to add bleachers.

It would be nice if USAC members could have first choice on tickets.

By the way I lived in the LA area during the 84 Olympics. The 7-11 track was close to my home and work place but had no problem traveling around LA on business as long as one avoided rush hour. The 84 game venues were located over a very wide area. Of course traffic has got heavier since 84.
