The NFL game was scheduled for the Workers Stadium (one of the soccer venues), not the Birds Nest. The reason the NFL is giving is that it wants to focus its energies on the Giants-Dolphins regular season game in London. Is that really the reason? I have no idea.

Oh, OK. I sit corrected. I always prefer the more intriguing, untold story. :)

The Water Cube is interesting... I'd almost like to see water actually running over the roof and the sides of the building, give it sort of a unique look.

As for the Birds Nest... I'll give them more time to finish, but right now, I find it a very forbidding structure. Like a massive steel cage.

I thought a special layer would be placed to prevent these shadows, but still allow some natural light in...?
