DEAD! Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 The old one was, well, old, just like any stadium that has been around. The new stadium is on the same site as the old one. They completely tore down the old one and have almost finished the new one. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The olympic stadium will be located elsewhere. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They completely tore down the old one and have almost finished the new one. Original stadium was built in 1923 so ya it was old,and the new one is set to hold the olympic football final so its not entirely irrelevant to the London 2012 bid,which i have supported from the start heres a news story:http://www.gamesbids.com/cgi-bin/news/view...1&id=1117816184If you wanna see computer pics of what new one will look like click herehttp://www.wembleystadium.com/pressbox/pre...ges/default.htm Kings Cross AFC -BIP, Winnipeg Falcons - TNFF, St. Louis Archers - MLF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYBadshah1 Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 I thought they were keeping the Twin Towers. Guess not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreytist Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 The plan was to keep the twin towers in the original designs, which would be on the walkway leading up to the stadium, but they scrapped it and went with a big arch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
