kevzz Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Yes I'm pretty sure there's a stage at either end under the screen, it's the norm for all ceremony. And they need somewhere to put the giant bell too! That pic with the escalator looks really cool, like inside a mall than a stadium. Didn't know they have escalator in there, does it serve the VIP area only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiveRingFever Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Did anyone check out the views from different seats for the different events (finish line, jumping pits, throwing circles, etc)? Also, is the seating area relatively comfortable or is everyone going to be wedged in like sardines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tickle Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Its directly under the VIP bit so I think it serves that area. Its really lovely all this white and black cladding some matt some gloss. I really like how the ceiling panels flow in the direction that you need to go in too The seating areas arn't cramped at all theres ample space, and it feels intimate at the same time feeling gladatorial. Its bloody lovely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikarus360 Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Someone needs to bring a whip and make those lazyasses work with the wrap faster XD: Enough wait is enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 There have though been test events this weekend (75k people were in the Park on Saturday) and the National Schools Championships inside the stadium concluded today. From tomorrow the stadium is sealed off from the public until the Opening Ceremony. Expecting things to accelerate now. Photos of the stadium over the last few days, its Official Opening, plus some test events.... http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=london+olympic+stadium&d=taken-20120504-&ct=0&mt=all&adv=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athensfan Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 HERE IS THE WRAP SO FAR Hmmmm. It's ok. It's definitely an improvement. I'm a little bit underwhelmed. Lighting at night could make it very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brekkie Boy Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 There have though been test events this weekend (75k people were in the Park on Saturday) and the National Schools Championships inside the stadium concluded today. From tomorrow the stadium is sealed off from the public until the Opening Ceremony. Expecting things to accelerate now. Photos of the stadium over the last few days, its Official Opening, plus some test events.... http://www.flickr.co...=0&mt=all&adv=1 Thank you - it's all getting very real now, though a bit of a shame they didn't put on a bigger event to mark the opening of the stadium. I guess the medal ceremonies will be on the outside of the track then rather than on the in field. Didn't realise the home straight was designed like that - the crowd has been pushed rather far back really. and certainly further back than would be acceptable for football. It could be great for cricket though - not sure what the dimensions of a standard international test cricket pitch are in comparison to the size of an athletics track, but cricket could do with something in England to rival the MCG. Hmmmm. It's ok. It's definitely an improvement. I'm a little bit underwhelmed. Lighting at night could make it very cool. Yes, same here. It kind of looks like the wrap we'd seen in the CGI animations had kind of been burnt away and these strips are all we're left with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrack Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 I'd like the wrap more if they twisted each panel in the same direction rather than alternate. The odd "thick" panel just looks like a really low quality job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevzz Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Latest Pics Is that really latest? That can't be snow, they must be prepping the field for opening ceremony! And looks like there's going to be a centre stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanstead Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 I think they are the latest pics, I got them from the 'Inside London 2012' Facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/Inside.London2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiroamorim Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 I think this stage will cover all the field and that's the reason they'll keep all the athlets sit down during the ceremony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikarus360 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Looking good. Although I couldn't see those pics in the Facebook site. Here's wondering how it will look finished (I'm hoping they make a stage at the end of the field ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtclvr05 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 I'm not sure that is very recent because the wrap is alot further along than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
