Earlier this year, New York, on the East Coast, co-hosted the T20 World Cup alongside the West Indies, hosting a number of preliminary-round matches. While fans in India can see the action live because the East Coast is nine and a half hours behind, Los Angeles is twelve and a half hours behind, which may hurt viewing. According to the website “sportico.com,” Wasserman stated at a Business of Sports Summit in Austin, Texas, that the LA28 organizers would aim to maximize cricket viewership in India.

In his role as president of the Organizing Committee and leader of the winning LA28 bid, Wasserman was vague about the East Coast location of cricket matches. Six sports have been added to the LA28 Olympic list, including cricket, baseball, softball, flag football, squash, and lacrosse. It has previously participated in the Olympic Games in 1900.

Presumably, current infrastructure may be utilized to accomplish “more than USD 150 million in savings and new revenue to help maintain a balanced budget (for the Olympics),” Wasserman has said earlier this year, according to ‘Sportico’.

Dallas, Fort Lauderdale, and a makeshift stadium constructed on Long Island outside of New York City were the three locations that hosted the T20 World Cup in the US, which India won to end the title drought. Olympic competitions held in host countries remote from the major center are not unusual. Tahiti hosted surfing competitions, Marseille hosted sailing, Chateauroux hosted shooting, and the entire nation hosted soccer during the Olympics in Paris.
