	Hertha BSC: Stadium
		The highlight of the whole refurbishment of the Olympic stadium was the roof construction, which cost around 26 million Euros11% of the total budget.
		The patriotic enthusiam of the gymnasts was later exploited by nationalists as a means to their non-sport-related ends, which are supposely embodied in the architecture of the the Olympic Stadium complex, whose monumentality can be interpreted as an expression of nationalsocialist ideology.
		Despite substantial damage, a reconstruction was possible, thereby reconfirming the stadium's status as a symbol for the Olympic spirit, unbroken despite the storms of history.

	Sports Venue Technology - Stadium Australia - Sydney
		Stadium Australia was designed to maximise the total entertainment experience and to set new standards in spectator comfort, corporate and member facilities, weather protection, patron circulation, safety features, quality of food and beverage, restaurant facilities and replay video screen and scoreboard technology.
		Engineers for the stadium, Sinclair Knight Merz, commented that these four thrust blocks, weighing 140t each, were particularly complex, requiring 'lots of reinforcement' and the use of mechanical couplers to avoid congestion due to the excessive lapping of the Y36 bars.
		From March 2002 the stadium was able to be quickly reconfigured from rectangular to oval shape and vice versa.

	2000 Sydney Olympic Stadium
		When the Olympics are over, the temporary grandstands at both ends of the stadium will be replaced by roofed grandstands, reducing the stadium's capacity to about 80,000.
		Stadium Australia has made a commitment to use reduced toxicity paints and to implement a comprehensive waste management plan both during construction and operation, to minimise waste and maximise recycling.
		Construction of the Stadium began in September 1996 and is expected to be completed at least a year before the start of the 2000 Olympic Games.

	Olympic Stadium - Montreal, Quebec
		Olympic Stadium has been one of the most criticized stadiums in recent years, and probably for good reason.
		Unlike the Metrodome in Minneapolis, Olympic Stadium is at least configured properly for baseball.
		It is doubtful that Olympic Stadium will ever see professional baseball again, but hopefully a new minor league park will be built at some point as this is a city that loves baseball and deserves to have a professional team.

	Le Stade Olympique
		In the spring of 1998, the orange Kevlar roof was removed and a $26 million opaque blue roof replaced it later in the year.
		An orange line was painted on the technical ring, which surrounded the stadium on the inside of the roof, after Dave Kingman hit it with a controversial foul ball.

	Olympic Stadium
		Built for the 1976 Summer Olympics, Olympic Stadium and its adjacent 552-foot observation tower form one of baseball's largest, most architecturally ambitious, and most visually distinctive complex.
		The stadium itself is a squat, oval disc supported by 38 reinforced concrete ribs, while the futuristic tower is the world's tallest inclined structure.
		The roof was therefore permanently closed for baseball but then removed in April 1998 by the local stadium authority, meaning that Montreal fans enjoyed fresh air and endured rainouts for the first time in a decade.

	Baseball Travel: Olympic Stadium, Montréal
		They're faced with a stadium that's literally falling apart, a provincial government hemming and hawing over financially supporting a new stadium, greedy ownership bragging about turning a profit in 1998 with the lowest payroll on baseball while lobbying for a government payout, and a team that's long on potential but short on accomplishments.
		Not that Olympic Stadium is totally horrible; it was built in the 1970s before the advent of luxury boxes and private seat licenses.
		The Metrodome, Kingdome, Olympic Stadium...I don't think that fans will be weeping over the eventual demise of these stadiums, invoking the same sense of loss as did Crosley Field and Sportsman's Park when they were shuttered.

	BUILDING BIG: Databank: Olympic Stadium
		Built for the 1976 Olympic Games, Montreal's Olympic Stadium was one of the first sports stadiums to be capped with a plastic dome roof.
		After the Olympics, the Quebec government attempted to finish the structure, but cost overruns and unsolved engineering problems stopped the project in its tracks.
		In the summer of 1991, Montreal's Olympic Stadium was closed after a 55-ton concrete beam fell and crashed onto a walkway, forcing the Expos to play their last 13 regular-season home games on the road.

		Specially designed for the unique Australian environment, the stadium is one of the few in the world which effectively shades and protects most spectators, without the need for a claustrophobic and grass-killing fully enclosed dome.
		The stadium has had major redevelopment work done throughout 2001 and 2002 to reduce the size and convert the playing field into an oval shape to enable Australian Football to be played.
		The nearest station is Olympic Station and is 400 metres from the Stadium.

	Clem's Baseball ~ Olympic Stadium
		Like "the Mistake on the Lake," Olympic Stadium came to be regarded not just as a white elephant, but as a dark and depressing place to play baseball, with many thousands of empty seats game after game.
		Architecturally, however, Olympic Stadium was something of a masterpiece: The permanent solid roof extended for as much as 150 feet inward from the stadium's perimeter, seemingly defying the laws of gravity.
		As is/was the case in Exhibition Stadium, the extreme oblong shape of this stadium was due to the much longer length of the gridiron in the Canadian Football League: 480 feet (160 yards) altogether, rather than 360 feet (120 yards).

	Football Stadiums in Japan: Komazawa Stadium
		Komazawa Olympic Stadium was built and used as the main venue for football matches during the Tokyo Olympic Games, in 1964.
		Though the years have passed this stadium by, and it no longer is used by any professional teams, it retains a very interesting architectural and inspirational character that is missing from many of the newer facilities in Japan, despite their high-tech features.
		One side of the stadium is bounded by unique triangular walls, which not only give the stadium its unique architectural feel, but also double as roofing sections which sheild fans from both wind and rain (though only those sitting in the upper tiers of the main stands).

	United States Olympic Committee - Can temporary stadium land Olympics?: Collapsible venue an 'intriguing concept' for ...
		Chicago's search for an Olympic stadium is focused on three possibilities: building a "collapsible" stadium between Soldier Field and McCormick Place; retrofitting Soldier Field, or demolishing McCormick Place East to make way for a permanent facility, City Hall sources said.
		U.S. Olympic Committee chairman Peter Ueberroth has insisted that an 80,000- to 100,000-seat stadium capable of housing track-and-field events and opening and closing ceremonies be either built or "totally committed" to by March 31, 2007.
		The old Soldier Field was a stadium built for track and field that was lousy for football, prompting stadium designers to completely reconfigure the new version and reduce its capacity.

		Launching the first cricket match to be held at the Olympic stadium, a domestic one-dayer between NSW and South Australia next February, the stadium's chief executive, Ken Edwards, said it was "inevitable" that big-time international cricket would be held there in the future.
		But when the new agreement is negotiated, a major collision is expected, with Cricket NSW and the Olympic stadium both keen to see that Homebush Bay hosts at least two one-day internationals.
		It is expected that the Olympic stadium will offer lucrative incentives to cricket authorities to hold major one-day matches there.
