Santa Monica officials are "very close" to reaching an agreement to host beach volleyball for the 2028 Summer Olympics, despite potential costs exceeding $12 million.
City manager David White expresses confidence, stating, "We think we are very close to addressing all the outstanding issues. That's why we are very confident and feel that this is a good time to be in front of our council."
The 36-page report released prior to the upcoming City Council meeting outlines a worst-case scenario while also noting potential recovery of costs through successful Games.
If an agreement is signed, LA28 would construct a temporary 12,000-seat stadium on the sand, signaling the culmination of over a year of negotiations.
