NewYork2016 Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 1) A collapsible stadium when Japan and other countries would feature brand-new or fully refurbished stadiums won't sound good with the IOC. 2) I guess this would be the best option of the 3 but will still have a lot questions to answer, like how are they going to fit a track in a very compact football field area. 3) What would be the legacy for this stadium? Who will use it after the games? Chicago's best options would be Option 2, because it won't cost that much money for Chicagoans, then 3, to satisfy the IOC's desire of a new stadium. At least we're hearing feasible plans for a Chicago bid. Unlike previous proposals for 2 stadia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
