Rebuild or existing

[edit]

Panathinaioko stadium (1896) was completely rebuild for 1896. So was the stadium for Berlin 1936 (ie, stadium Berlin 1916 was taken down). Should be treated equally here. -DePiep 14:35, 11 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Not really a disambig...

[edit]

This is not really a disambig - more like a description of a category, and a list of things that fall into that category. Therefore, I'm removing the disambig notice. Please drop me a note if you disagree. Cheers! BD2412 T 22:31, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Montreal's Olympic Stadium

[edit]

Removed the following paragraph from the introduction:

'Montreal's "Stade Olympique" (picture right) is arguably the world's most famous stadium, having cost over $2.2 billion. It is often described as the most beautiful piece of architecture on Earth.'

In addition to there being no citation or support given for such claims, they seem a bit strange considering how widely ridiculed the stadium is in its home country of Canada, both for the high cost of the structure and for its current state of disrepair.

plural: stadiums or stadia?

[edit]

The article uses both forms of the plural. I guess it should at least be consistent. Spebudmak 00:30, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • I thought we had discussed this before (perhaps in relation to another article) and concluded that "Stadiums" was more popularly used. Any thoughts on why we should use one or the other? Wiktionary lists both as valid alternatives, and says "In formal writing, the Latinate plural stadia is preferred; in other contexts, the Anglicised plural stadiums is more common". bd2412 T 16:18, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Definition of Olympic Stadium

[edit]

João Havelange Olimpic Stadium is currently listed for the 2016 entry. This venue will host track and field events but will not host opening and closing ceremonies. Therefore, this article needs to provide a more precise definition of what constitutes an Olympic stadium. The apparent intent of this article is to identify one and only one stadium for each Olympic games. I would suggest that the venue used for opening ceremonies should be listed. This would be Maracanã Stadium for 2016. ShelbyBell (talk) 03:39, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Generally, the Olympic Stadium must be the venue of the opening and closing ceremonies and the athletics events (and occassionally the football finals). I believe that Rio de Janeiro is using the Estadio Jornalista Mario Filho for the ceremonies and the Joao Havelange Stadium for the athletics events. My opinion is that the latter stadium should host both events (ceremonies and athletics) (before the Olympics, there'll be a capacity expansion which its design supported) and the Mario Filho should host football finals only. This should apply for the Paralymics as well. That way, the Joao Havelange Stadium could be considered the real Olympic Stadium. The definition on what an Olympic Stadium is is going to result in several edit wars throughout the next few years on the following articles: Olympic Stadium, 2016 Summer Olympics, 2016 Summer Paralympics, Estádio do Maracanã, Estádio Olímpico João Havelange, Olympic Stadium (London). Such edit wars cannot easily be prevented. I tried to explain my point at two of the forum at which I post everyday, but several users there have always defeated by opinions, and I usually end up warring with them. On the 2016 Summer Olympic Stadium issue, I myself don't want to end up warring with several users on Wikipedia. Jim856796 (talk) 02:19, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Defined by whom? If there is a legitimate and reasonable controversy, we should just discuss all stadiums that could possibly be included and explain any controversy attached to the description. bd2412 T 02:24, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Generally, it's just the universal definition of an Olympic Stadium, it doesn't have to be defined by a particular person (or probably does). Jim856796 (talk) 01:12, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Resurrecting this thread, the Rio 2016 website refers to the Estádio Olímpico João Havelange as "Olympic Stadium" and Maracanã Stadium simply as "Maracanã". I think both should be included in the list with a footnote explanation. Hack (talk) 08:55, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Built and/or Constructed?

[edit]

I don't understand it, some of the stadia are listed as "built" and others as "constructed" what's the difference, some are in both, some are in one or the other. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.5.231.88 (talk) 22:51, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edit?

[edit]

The fact that only one Olympic stadium (White City Stadium) has ever been demolished isn't mentioned on here and I can't edit the page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.5.231.88 (talk) 23:02, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Stade Olympique de Colombes in Sydney and Rome?

[edit]

So says the last list. Must be a strange error, right? Fomalhaut76 (talk) 18:55, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just a typo I expect. I've corrected the links - Basement12 (T.C) 23:09, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Conflicting information?

[edit]

It's been a long week, so perhaps I'm missing something obvious here, but don't these two sentences contradict?

"While only one (the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum) has been the main stadium twice, both the Panathinaiko Stadio and the Vélodrome de Vincennes have hosted events at subsequent Olympics."

"Wembley will become the second stadium to have been used twice but only host one Olympics after the Melbourne Cricket Ground which was the venue in 1956 and hosted the first game of the Sydney 2000 football tournament."

Olympic stadium requirements

[edit]

I think this article should include requierements IOC tell a host city to its olympic stadium: Capacity, amenities, etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Palacesblowlittle (talk • contribs) 16:54, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Native language

[edit]

Is there any reason St. Moritz Olympic Ice Rink is listed as both the English and native version of the stadium? In German, the majority language of St. Moritz, the stadium seems to be referred to as "Olympia-Eisstadion Badrutts Park" or "Eisstadion Badrutts Park".
