Title: Poor Birds Nest
Post by: CheezeStudios on January 30, 2009, 06:16 PM
While I didn't watch the Olympics, I did however, love the architecture and general design of the Bird's Nest stadium. I was upset to read the article posted below.

sad really, could have stayed as a nice stadium, if they're wanting to make money from it, they could have hosted so many sporting events or concerts, shows, pretty much anything....



.... although if it goes anything like the millennium dome in London, who knows if they will actually keep to their plans, what is the dome now? offices? :sleep:

Such a shame.  Such a beautiful stadium.

And the cost they listed to maintain it for a year.   :ahh:
