i dont see why so many people complain that 'our stadium is crap'. just because beijing had some sort of birds nest doesnt mean we have to go one better. Its the middle of a global recession and we in britain are going to do things the way we want to. We have nothing to proove, china did, we dont have anything to worry about, plus its the games and the legacy that count, not the size of the venues. In my opinion they all look great and i cant wait for the games to come to the UK...

Originally i didn't like the design for the main stadium but it's grown on me. Quite conservative but slightly reminiscent of a colosseum. I'm sure it'll be fantastic when it's completed!!

that stadium is so big,,,

BEIJING 2008 OLYMPIC STADIUM IS THE BEST DESIGN!.....it looks more like the ARCHITECTURE that we should pushing for the future designs...design should not go back in time.....therefore the 2012 olympic stadium looks old fashioned and looks like something that some architect drawn at the last minute.....2012 stadium is just ugly and boring looking!

it looks like a chinese noodle soup bowl :D just kidding well I can only feel sorry for london to be the next city to host the Olympics because they have a huge chinese shoe to fill.

@03cammd79 The Beijing stadium cost $423million or £258million...the London Olympic Stadium, which is meant to be a somewhat temporary structure (which should make it cheaper) will cost £537million...so for two iconic "Birds Nests"...you would get one London Olympic Stadium...also the Birds Nest could hold 91,000 people, 11,000 more than LOS. Do the math...London was ripped off and wont even get a great legacy stadium

@03cammd79 i wish the games would come to toronto, your stadium is amazing, anything that holds 80 000 people and build in 3 years is amazing to us, in toronto all we have is a small stadium -.-

Can we literally see it? Is it literally a year since they started building? Could this guy literally say literally any more? So embarrassing that someone so illiterate is involved with the games. Probably a lot more like this too. It is a joke.

Yet another corporate robbery of the tax payer’s money. There are so many stadiums in London with its many football teams (bloody Wembley’s just been rebuilt). There was absolutely no need for this. The only real reason I see for this pillage that of the contractors getting their grubby hands (ie Livingston/Johnson) into the taxpayer pot and grabbing the £9 billion could have been put into the NHS, the education system, or just generally fixing the hell hole that is East London.
