LONDON (AP) — The company set up to ensure a lasting legacy in east London following the 2012 Olympics says it is getting “a lot of interest” in future uses for the main stadium.
The Olympic Stadium, which will hold the track and field competition and opening and closing ceremonies, is designed to be reduced to a 25,000-seat venue after the games.
Olympic Park Legacy Company chief executive Andrew Altman says “we’re getting responses back by the end of the month on what the potential uses of the stadium will be. We’re getting a lot of interest.”
Earlier Friday, the London Assembly published a report saying only a major soccer or rugby club could keep the stadium from becoming a so-called white elephant.
