intoronto Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Any renderings of the Ceremonies stadium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olimpik Posted August 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 no, there is no render yet. I've only shared the existing ones. The render I used was something planned before, not specifically for Olympics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daze Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 The Weightlifting "Arena" looks nice. A bit like Rome 1960. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY20?? Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Would it be outdoors like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intoronto Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Nice Would it be outdoors like that? Its a nice venue. Toronto proposed somewhat outdoors one in 2008 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldstandard Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 I heard that they're also going to build the Bosphorus Stadium for the ceremonies. I don't think it will host any sports, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athensfan Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 I like the idea of an outdoor weightlifting venue. I really don't understand the notion of a second stadium just for the ceremonies on the Bosphorus. It seems wasteful. Does Istanbul actually NEED another stadium? Bizarre. I would really like to see the travel times between all these venues -- not the "projected" travel times, but actual ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't they use the Olympic Stadium and save money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emre Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 it wont be permanent, and the seats will built as 4x 20000 capacity stadiums in other 4 cities. so not a big waste of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob2012 Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I still can't quite get my head around this bid like I can the other two, which is weird because it's the only city of the three I've been to. It seems like they had a big brainstorming meeting, came up with lots of ideas and then just put them all in there! There's some great ideas but it feels like lots of unrelated bits in my head at the moment. Love the renders and could see the Games being great fun, but having trouble connecting it all up... I'm not explaining myself very well.....bleeerughh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athensfan Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I think that's fair, Rob. Istanbul isn't labeling things clearly or presenting them in an organized way. The overall plan may work, but the information is coming in bits and pieces that make it difficult to get a sense of the big picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The overall plan may work, but the information is coming in bits and pieces that make it difficult to get a sense of the big picture. OR...Istanbul is just too BIG and there's no way they can FUDGE making the plan look like a compact, viable one. Just saying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deawebo Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Well I understand you Rob, Istanbul is amazing and everything seems ver exciting. But the logictics aren't really good... I could be a big challenge but I belive that 7 years is enough time to correct transport issues that could make access to all venues easier.

Lucas Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Nice venues, very nice. Ataturk Stadium will have temporary seats, and that is a very inteligent desicion; 90,000 is too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
