LA28: Yes the '28 Olympics will be in LA and Oklahoma.
The L.A. Games will have more sports and athletes than any Olympics in history,

We call this organization and "Place," under the 9P's of Marketing. There are trade off for expenses or keeping expenses down.
While the majority of the events are in and around Los Angeles. the softball tournament will be in Oklahoma City’s Devon Park, which hosts the Women’s College World Series every year, and the canoe slalom will take place at Riversport OKC. Riversport is the official Olympic training center for rowing and canoe/kayak.
They are trying to save money, especially on construction of venues.
These Olympic games will use existing infrastructure instead of building new venues.
Southern California has many great college softball teams with existing facilities, but it would be difficult to cater and be suitable for the Olympic athletes, media and fans.
Moving the softball and canoe slalom events outside of Southern California is a trade-off, though. The athletes at those events will not have some of the Olympic experiences that others in L.A. will, but organizers were mindful in making the competition schedule to ensure that athletes could attend either the opening or closing ceremonies despite competing far away.
Every Olympics wrestles with finding the perfect venue, and for the L.A. Games, which have more sports and athletes than any Olympics in history, that calculus is harder than most. There are no perfect solutions.

I like Marketing. I like Promotion, one of my nine P's of Marketing
I like advertising, which is one of the eight components under Promotion in my 9P's of Marketing.
I like copy and selling points. I like finding Marketing opportunities and solving Marketing problems using the nine P's of Marketing. I like teaching them.
I use my 9P's to illustrate Marketing examples in the classroom, in court as an expert witness, in seminars and to solve Marketing problems and to find opportunities.
My 9P's of Marketing do include these important concepts, practices and components:
I am using the 9P's with Planning, People, Product, Price, Promotion, Place, Partners, Presentation and Passion to illustrate an unusual insight or example. To find opportunities and problems in Marketing.
- Planning and Research.
- Finding copy points is part of the creative and promotional planning.
- Planning for marketing activities, objectives, strategies and tactics. Viewership, revenue, sales. All sales, whether in services, fashion, sports, amusement parks, hotels, resorts, autos, fast food, retail sales or tires, refreshments or cereal, as three examples.
- From the founder of Intuit, Scott Cook, said: " A brand is no longer what we tell the consumer it is -- (maybe from Marketing Research never was is my comment) it is what consumers (“People” in the 9P’s) tell each other it is.
- People (Segmentation and Targeting)
- Consumers and users, as in shoppers. Fashion consumers. Add travelers.
- In my 9P's, I stress that firms need to look and analyze potential, new, existing and repeat customers and users.
- Product and Services, includes airports, sports teams, people and celebrities too. I teach that perfection resides in quality, not quantity.
- Place (Distribution), includes retail and online. How about locations of airports, team stadiums, amusement parks and resorts?
- Price or Pricing, many contingency plans needed.
- Promotion:
- There are eight (8) major, strategic components or communication elements which are personal and non-personal communication activities.
- The activities that communicate the merits of the overall product include:
- Personal Selling/ Sales Force: Sales persons
- Listen more than you talk. People who listen more, learn more, plus helps you position your service/product/solution or offering.
- Advertising:
Like Super Bowl advertising in February for Super Bowl. Think about this expression "It is only creative if the product or service sells." I wanted to add "It is only good media spending if it sells."- Sales Promotion, advertising mascots can fit here, too. Signage would fit here.
- Collateral Materials
- Direct Marketing (also referred to as Action or Direct Response Advertising)
- Interactive/Internet/Web, Digital Media, Social Media:
- Events and Experiences, sampling
- Public Relations/PR
- One stop shopping is more important than ever.
- Partners/Alliances, can be one of the most powerful of the 9P's if researched, performed and handled well.
- There should be moving forward towards shared goals or goals.
- Presentation:
- The act or acts of strategically presenting any of the different 9P’s© and/or components to your customers, suppliers, wholesalers, retailers, sales force, marketing intermediaries, clients, employees, partners, and/or others.
Presentation aspects may be signs, symbols or images that represent something; a descriptive or persuasive account (as a sales person of the product or service). Something set forth for the attention of mind of your targets ("People") and media audiences. I've added "culture," too. I'm adding "culture," too.
- Passion, including consumers and employees. Think about the lines sometimes of consumers waiting for a new Apple product
