looks alright. surprised there's no roof, but then i suppose with the way english summers are now it can then double as the swimming venue.
would have thought it would have made sense to be (if possible) a bit more flexible about what the capacity was reduced to and do everything to get a club of some sort on board before submitting final plans, as having a set 25k capacity has got to seriously limit their options now.
There will be no club involved. No Professional club at least. It's a stipulation of the contract they've signed with the IOC. </BLOCKQUOTE>

After the Games have finished, the temporary seating will be taken away and the stadium will become a 25,000-capacity venue with a permanent athletics track.
An anchor tenant such as a football or rugby club is actively being sought, but one has yet to be found.
they want an amateur club as their anchor tenant then? in a 25k stadium? </BLOCKQUOTE>
Going on what was reported previously in the last month or so. Trying to find a link to a story i read now where they said that it's a condition of the contract with the IOC.

I don't think the IOC have a problem with a professional club taking over the stadium, but I think the condition is that the track must stay.
It may be misinterpreting by myself on the way it's being reported tbh. It's more likely that Athletics has to be a primary use for the Stadium than anything else, though if that is the case, it's very plausible that professional football clubs wll not be receptive to the idea.
