Designs for the London 2012 Olympic Stadium could be altered at the last minute amid a major change of plan for the venue in legacy mode.
New head of the Olympic legacy team Margaret Ford is in favour of keeping the stadium’s 80,000 seats after the games rather than reducing them to 25,000 as previously intended.
The proposal aims to capitalise on what Ford hopes will become an iconic structure, potentially able to host football matches should England win its bid to host the 2018 World Cup. It is likely to see stadium designer Populous – formerly HOK Sport – forced to alter the design, despite construction on the venue being well underway.
Ford told London’s Evening Standard newspaper she was convinced the “beautiful” stadium could be successful as an all-year visitor attraction.
