[Richmond Olympic Oval]

In the Games mode and the Post-Games mode renderings, it looks like all the seating in this oval will be temporary.

[Pacific Coliseum Renovations!]

If the Pacific Coliseum gets a renovation, then should the CH Place get a renovation for the Olympics as well?

[Delhi 2010]

^^How is Melbourne going to be the official backup host city? Backup host cities for multi-sport events smell.

[VENUES]

Any word on when they're gonna start dismantling the temporary Olympic venues?

[Delhi 2010]

There will be a 5-kilometre long flyover road connecting the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium to the athletes village. It is to be built within 24 months.

[No Skytrain Or Buses During Olympics?]

If a city can't use its own rail transit system during their hosting of the Olympic Games, then that would be messed up.

[Paralympics Tv?]

In the United states, the Paralympics are being broadcast by the Universal Sports Television Network.

[VENUES]

Will the three old buildings next to the Chaoyang Park Beach Volleyball Groungs be dismantled along with the main ground after the Olympics. A report said that there were three industrial buildings next to the Ground were upgraded to be part of the venue.

[Delhi 2010]

Sorry nobody posted in this thread in months.

Anyway, a new terminal at Indira Gandhi airport is being planned, the Delhi Metro is having six new stretches, and the government is planning to increase power production from 7,000 MW from the cuttent 5,400 MW to meet power demands.

[Who Are Your 2008 National Olympic Sponsors In Your Country?]

I recently saw a commercial for Budweiser saying that they're a proud sponsor of the US Olympic Team. Why should a beer company sponsor an Olympic Team?

[Best Olympic Commercials]

In the US, the best Olympic commercials were those for the Visa Card.

"Visa. Proud sponsor of the Olympic Games, and the only card accepted there."

[Indoor Olympic Flame Will Blow Up Bc Place Roof]

I have my concerns about an Olympic Flame burning inside a domed stadium. I also don't know if they should place the Olympic Flame just outside of the stadium, the IOC doesn't usually allow that. But I saw it in Doha's Asian Games in 2006. Jamie 25 must be very concerned about the Vancouver 2010 flame.

[Stadium Renovation Plans Cancelled]

It would be totally stupid to cancel the BC Place renovation project, even if certain renovations cannot be completed before the Games begin.

[All Venues Bird's View Before The Olympics In Beijing]

Hmmm...I'd certainly want to see competitions called "Teakwood" and Judo.? Will this be a demonstration sport?

Sir, he misspelled "Taekwondo". Teakwood is not even a real word.

[VENUES]

Good news: The Google aerial imagery for Beijing has just been updated so we can see a better look of the Games venues and the Olympic Village.

[VENUES]

Oh sorry, I forgot the other venue: I am to stay away from the Beijing Institute of Technology Gymnasium (just during the Goalball matches).

[VENUES]

Due to silence requiements for certain competitions, I have to stay away from two venues of the 2008 Games: the Laoshan Mountain Bike Course and the Beijing . People there are going to do something really bad to put me off. There is gonna be lots of swearing and cussing out towards other people. Goalball is a totally Jewish sport anyway. I hate Goalball.

[Olympic Village]

Over at the SkyscraperCity forums, I saw some photos of the Beijing Olympic Village on the 20th page of a forum title "2008 Summer Olympics Development News".

[Countdown Clock Vandalized Again By Apc]

I know the countdown clock gets vandalised frequently. What should we do to protect the countdown clock from further vandalism?

[Snow Could Fall At Olympic Ceremonies]

It would be impossible to let snow fall inside a non-retractable roof stadium.

[Singapore 2010]

The 5,500-seat Bishan Stadium will serve as the main stadium of the Games. Any other venues?

[Accommodation In Beijing]

I found out that a 148 room hotel, the Gong Ti Sports Inn, is hidden inside the Workers Stadium.

[VENUES]

All Beijing has is information about the Fencing Gymnasium in the National Conference Centre, but why no information on the National Conference Centre itself?

[Olympic Stadium: Beijing National Stadium]

There were supposed to be 15-20,000 temporary seats at the stadium. The interior renderings make the stadium look like a stadium whose seats are all permanent. Just where are the temporary seats supposed to be?

[Completed Venues]

Just a comment here: The Beijing 2008 website just SUCKS when it comes to photos of venues. The venues are beautiful and deserve much more photo coverageon the Beijing 2008 site. They currently use old, small graphics, mostly concept drawing and not even real photos. Beijing 2008 website... get it together.

Since Beijing 2008 got a new website, it does not suck anymore. Now we can get updates on the venues and most of those venues should be completed by now. The Bird's Nest Stadium is to be completed in 2 months.
