- The mayor is expected to spotlight preparations for eight 2026 World Cup matches at SoFi Stadium, the 2027 Super Bowl, and the 2028 Olympics.
- Last week she proposed nearly $100 million for Exposition Park upgrades focused on infrastructure and safety to support event crowds.
- The timing aligns with the first day candidates can file to run for mayor, coming roughly two months after Bass launched her reelection bid.
