The London Stadium has reached the final stage of Stadium Of The Year 2016, a worldwide competition aimed at selecting the best new venues opened over the past 12 months.
The multi-purpose stadium in the Stratford Olympic Park has reached the final 10 from a long list of 29 modern stadia. The winner, to be revealed on March 6, will be judged by a prestige jury of five accomplished architects from around the world.
The top 10 is:
Allianz Stadion, Vienna
Dacia Arena, Udine
Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens
London Stadium, London
Medical Park Arena, Trabzon
Sivas Arena, Sivas
Stadion FK Krasnodar, Krasnodar
Stadion Miejski, Bielsko-Biala
Vodafone Arena, Istanbul
The result of this is going to be announced tomorrow. There are two awards, a jury prize and an award from the public vote. Apparently there have been 82,826 votes cast. The London Stadium has a capacity of 66,000. It will be interesting to find out how many of their own fans have actually voted for their stadium.
