The US Sumo Open, the biggest and longest-running sumo competition in the Western Hemisphere, will take place on Saturday, October 2, 2021, at the brand-new Terasaki Budokan, 249 S. Los Angeles Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012, in Little Tokyo, Downtown Los Angeles.
The tournament will start at 12:00 noon. Doors will open at 11:30 am. General admissions are $35, and ringside seats are $100 (sold out), $80 (90% sold out), $60 (sold out) .
From 2001 through 2019, the US Sumo Open grew from about 1,000 fans to 5,000 fans at the Walter Pyramid Arena in the California State University, Long Beach. Among the COVID-19 pandemic, 2020 US Sumo Open was held online.
Because the 5,000-seat Pyramid Arena is not allowing large-scale events, the US Sumo Open 2021 will come to the Terasaki Budokan, an iconic Japanese sports and martial arts center in Little Tokyo.
Attendees can look forward to spectacular competitions with many powerful international athletes. For more information and buy tickets, go to https://www.usasumo.com/us-sumo-open/2021-us-sumo-open/
