Date: June 17th, 2024 2:17 PM Author: crusty talented space tennis will have held olympics at wimbledon and roland garros in the past 12 years. are there similar examples of historic and prestigious non-olympic venues that have been used for olympic events?

Date: June 17th, 2024 2:26 PM Author: razzle home Olympic soccer was held in the Rose Bowl in 1984, and will be again in 2028.
It was also held at Wembley in 2012. |
|
Date: June 17th, 2024 2:31 PM Author: crusty talented space good ones.
wonder why they used the rose bowl not the coliseum for soccer. cant use coliseum for track and soccer at the same time?
it looks like dodger stadium (is that iconic?) was used for baseball in 84 as a demonstration sport. not sure if that counts. |

Date: June 17th, 2024 2:50 PM Author: razzle home Yeah, they were already using the Coliseum for the other events. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5541898&forum_id=2#47754256) |

|
Date: June 17th, 2024 3:13 PM Author: passionate chad it’s in the top dozen imo. top 15 at worst.
hogans first US open win, tigers first tour start and now he hosts the event there. that’s plenty of history. and the US open is going back there in 2031 |
|
Date: June 17th, 2024 3:21 PM Author: crusty talented space show your work on the top 12-15. pretty much every british open venue has to be above it st andrews, carnouste, muirfield, royal lytham, troon, birkdale. then there's augusta, pebble, pinehurst, sawgrass and a bunch of others with us open / pga history im not even thinking of. fuck even a public course like bethpage has more history.
|
|
Date: June 17th, 2024 3:33 PM Author: passionate chad i’m going by course quality vs other former major venues not just amount of history. it’s a better course than most of the british rota for sure.
disagree it lacks history compared to bethpage or sawgrass. the LA open has been a big deal as far as non majors go for a long ass time. golfmos definitely remember it for hogans record there at the very least |
