That's all right you haters - you know the Bird's Nest kicks ass, you just just don't want to admit it. If anything even close to it's iconic design was built in the US, you'd be going off how awesome it is... But seven years later, the World Trade Center is still a hole in the ground.

Only China can build iconic structures like the Bird's nest.

The Bird's nest is a architectural wonder. It looks dull here but once you see the pictures at night with the red glow and the strange blue glow on top of the Birds nest (the blue comes from the background Watercube), there are no words to describe it.

I am a Chinese architect. Chinese like special buildings, even our taste is not as good as European, and we did not design birdsnest. but we have the money and technology to built wonderful designs. check out the british 2012 Olympics stadium, it looks cheap and simple.

@Angryxbot they didn't design it at all you are 100% incorrect

@kinnane4 YOU probable hate china but if ur an american, all the world hate your country.

First of all I'm Chinese. I just gotta ask why the fuck are you guys like this, its a fucking good architectural structure and everyone has the capability of building something of such an artistic level. Why be hating? America can build something like that, France can build something like that, Pakistan can if they had the money. American people don't be hating and Chinese people don't be bragging either. Comment it like you built it together.

I am looking for footage on Brandin Byrd. He is a running back who will be playing college football this fall for the North Texas State Mean Green.

I can't decide what's more amazing, the architecture of this or the visuals of the Water Cube. They're both marvelous!

Really? Only China?

Sure it's a great stadium... but "Only China"?!
