mountainboarder_530@yahoo. Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Would have to see more details, but Madrid seems like it would be amongst the more practical bids of 2032, which of course means the IOC wont chose it. I am interested in hell with a Barcelona/Pyrenees winter olympics, I just dont think 2030 is the right time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshi Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Where do they propose having the stadium now Atleti has commandeered the original one for football from the start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nacre Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 It depends on how much money they are willing to spend. Decking over a railyard would probably be the best choice for creating land, but it wouldn't be cheap. As for the stadium's purpose it would need to either be temporary or a national stadium like Stade de France. Politically I don't know if the latter option is viable with the national mens football team as one of the few things uniting the Basques and Catalans with the Castilians.

I believe it is possible for that stadium to be used for athletics, but it would require the team to relocate for a not insignificant period and I don't suppose the capacity would be brilliant.

Rob2012 Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 OK, I found this: Quote “The extension of the current Madrid track and field stadium started by planning a football stadium with an approximate capacity of 70,000 spectators”, say the Seville-based architects, Cruz y Ortiz. “It can then be converted into an athletics stadium with a capacity of 60,000 spectators, should Madrid be chosen to host the Olympic Games.” https://www.lonelyplanet.com/articles/atletico-madrid-incredible-new-stadium-unveiled-football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob2012 Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 So I guess it'd be ceremonies at the newly refurbished and newly roofed Bernabau, athletics at the Wanda, Atletico to share with Real Madrid for a couple of seasons. I believe the aquatics centre from the recent bids was never completed and the building intended for that is now club offices for Atletico. So they'd need to think of something new for that.

yoshi Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 An Atleti-Real groundshare is reason enough to give Madrid the games on its own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nacre Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 It's hard for me to believe that they can install a track in a rectangular football stadium and only lose 10,000 seats. Hampden Park lost 12,000 and it is already an oval shape. And the same will be true for the LA Coliseum in 2028. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikarus360 Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 I thought they would put this crazy plan to rest after three defeats. Specially now with this chimera mess of a government which has been recently formed in Spain and a possible new economic crisis on the horizon (have absolute zero faith on the sickos who are now in power to dodge it). Not having much hopes for it to be quite honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger87 Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Well, at least for 2032 has the big elephant in the room out at once. And still the bid is practical. For some reason, I gave better odds now to Madrid - Honest. They may have better cards this time. Now, it's checking how to play. Ironically, if there's something the chimera parties right now are looking is precisely the Castillian pride (even with different prospects). If the Spanish Olympic Committee learnt the lesson and show more humilty, the parties will back the bid Think like the Italian political puzzle seen during the 2026 Winter Olympics (which was capable to join La Lega, PD and M5S even when they were in war for other instances).
